Item Details
Description
An extremely rare box produced with a factory misprint - the red lure name Wilson's Winged Wobbler was misspelled "Wobber", so the factory glued a small paper correction over it. In vivid yellow with clear green and red printing and lure illustration, four-leaf clover logo, the Sheridan R. Jones collection stamp on the interior of the lid, and stamped "White", grading Ex-/Ex. Housing a beautiful "frog" finish Fluted Wobbler, shiny Ex, appearing unfished. Also included is a Wilson's Wobblers fold out catalog with "The High Sign" logo. Truly a rarity, only a very small number of these misprinted boxes are known, this being the only example to be offered at Lang's.
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".
