Description
Fish-Oreno, red/white, good glass eyes (Ex-/Ex), in an Ex- introductory box marked 953 RH, a Teas-Oreno, 4 1/4", red/white (VG+, tail touchups), in a crisp introductory box stamped 940 RH with a fold out catalog, and a Pike-Oreno, 4 1/2", pike scale, good glass eyes (Ex-/Ex), in a VG+ box marked 956 YP.

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".
