Echols Antique Lures |
By Dr. Michael Echols
Below are three variations of the body shapes used by Heddon for their early 100 series.
|
The first lure is a blunt nose c. 1908 cup rig 100 in rainbow.
Second is a cup rig fat body 100 with unmarked props in silver flitter.
Third is an L-rig 100 with slim body in white. These are not all the shapes, but show vividly how much they varied. |
