Item Details
Description
Extremely rare, this extraordinary box dates from the 1920's and houses an unfished white/red Feather-Getum (Ex) on the original card-stock insert. Retaining its bright color, measuring 5 3/4" in length, marked Size 1 No. 110 (handwritten over the stamp), with crisp illustrations of other Dewey's baits printed on the long flap, and grading at least Ex-/Ex (slight wear, very light soiling). The Dewey's introductory boxes offered in this auction are in the best condition of the scant few we are aware of. An important centerpiece box for even the most advanced Outing collection.
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".
