Brewer/Business Name: James Heddons Sons, Dowagiac, Michigan
Manufacturer/Plant: See comments/description
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
Contents/Type: n/a
Dimensions: 4-3/4 w x 2-1/2 h x 2-1/2 d.
Comments/description: Lot contains two 1950s Heddon lure boxes. The River Runt box contains a plastic Midget River Runt crankbait lure in pattern 9010 L Perch. The other box, for a jointed plastic Heddon Dowagiac Go-Deeper River Runt Spook with white body and red head, has no lure but does have the paperwork/flyer promoting other popular Heddon lures on one side and rods and reels on the other. The box carries the size/style/pattern code of D 9430-RH. In many cases the boxes are much harder to come by (especially in good condition) than the lures that came in them. Both are from renowned lure manufacturers James Heddons Sons, Dowagiac, Michigan. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

The smaller box has staining on the inside of the bottom section but the rest of the container is outstanding. Please carefully review the photos for best assessment of variety, condition, and for specific design details and markings.
