Item Details
Description
Originating from the Heddon factory archives, this important well-known Luny is believed to be one-of-a-kind. Closed leg model, dubbed the "Raceway" many years ago, with glass eyes, single trailing hook and finished in white with a thin red side stripe around the entire lure. The condition is at least VG+/Ex- (age lines, wear, light soiling), extraordinary considering the fragile nature of this early pyralin test bait. Purchased from the highly respected Heddon collector Walt Blue. Instantly recognizable to knowledgeable Heddon collectors, certainly a centerpiece Luny Frog.

From the Russell White Collection

A well known decades-long collection, displayed for many years at tackle shows, containing truly rare examples, pre-production and test baits as well as one-of-a-kind lures.
