Item Details

Description

Crisp maroon papered The "Surprise" Minnow box retains its full 4 Brothers top label, marked "Size 4 No. 3914 Luminous", Ex-/Ex, including the Sheridan R. Jones collection stamp on the interior of the lid, and coming complete with its fold out catalog. The hole-eye minnow, Neverfail rigged, has been repainted in the mouth and eyes and over-varnished, shows well. This exact package appears in "The Life and Legend of Sheridan R. Jones" on page 58.

From the Sheridan Jones Collection.

Referred to as "America's pioneering outdoor writer", Sheridan Jones (1881-1958) was certainly one of the most respected and prolific angling writers of his era. Many of the lures offered in this auction, where noted, were personally owned by Jones. Several were given to the esteemed author and outdoor writer for his professional opinion, others as gifts by lure makers vying for his favor. Stated best by author Joseph Hilko in his 2010 book The Life and Legend of Sheridan R. Jones: "Jones' legacy as an educator, naturalist, professional writer and world-class angler is worthy of remembrance today".
