Description
Extremely rare short production bait by the Payne Bait Co., c1915, finished in red with a light pink face. The fat wood body measures 2 5/8" in length and appears unfished (Ex-/Ex), with unique all original hardware, including twin movable single hooks tucked held in the body by spring clips. Produced for less than two years (1915-1917), this important lure is beyond rare and is pictured on page 65 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".
