Antique vintage Heddon No. 150 Dowagiac Minnow fishing lure in a classic yellow/gold, red and dark green finish.
This is an early Heddon wooden lure featuring the distinctive five-hook configuration, dual metal propellers and early Cup Rig hardware. The propeller is marked Heddon, and the body retains the original Heddon 150 Dowagiac identification marking.
A great example for the serious vintage fishing lure collector.
CONDITION:
This is an antique fishing lure and shows significant age and use consistent with its history. There is substantial paint loss, finish wear, scratches, cracking/checking of the old finish, oxidation/patina to some of the metal hardware and surface wear throughout.
The original glass eye is present. The original-style metal propellers and hardware are present. Hooks have oxidation and wear and should be considered part of the antique condition.
Please study ALL photographs carefully. The photographs are an important part of the description and show the exact lure you will receive.
I have intentionally NOT cleaned, polished, repainted or refinished this lure. The existing patina and aged finish have been left intact for the collector.
MARKINGS:
Heddon
150 Dowagiac
This would make an excellent addition to an antique fishing lure collection, Heddon collection, fishing display or vintage tackle collection.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an antique collectible lure, not a modern fishing lure. Due to its age and condition, it is being sold primarily as a collectible.
You will receive the exact lure pictured.
