A progression of Heddon lures 1904
to the 1912 in green crackleback. Note the body shapes, size, and
configurations. All lures shown with boxes are in the correct boxes which is very difficult to do in
this time frame.
Reference: see Bill Sonnett's
article on "8 years of Heddon Hardware" published in the Premier Issue of the
NFLCC Magazine on page 22 for extensive details.
