Item Details
Description
Early 1800 in white with red eye shadow and very rare hand painted reverse gill marks. Rigged with L-rig hardware, inch worm line tie and marked collar, the condition is shiny Ex-. The down-bass box is stamped 1809 with a handwritten C on both ends, VG+/Ex-. Most likely an employee addition rather than a Special Order feature, but a rarity nonetheless. This exact combination is pictured on page 60 of "The Life and Legend of Sheridan R. Jones".
From the Sheridan Jones Collection.
Referred to as "America's pioneering outdoor writer", Sheridan Jones (1881-1958) was certainly one of the most respected and prolific angling writers of his era. Many of the lures offered in this auction, where noted, were personally owned by Jones. Several were given to the esteemed author and outdoor writer for his professional opinion, others as gifts by lure makers vying for his favor. Stated best by author Joseph Hilko in his 2010 book The Life and Legend of Sheridan R. Jones: "Jones' legacy as an educator, naturalist, professional writer and world-class angler is worthy of remembrance today".
