Item Details
Description
Small 4 5/8" Pat. Pending box is in extraordinary condition, crisp with bright color, completely legible printed text and a clear lure illustration, with the Sheridan R. Jones collection stamp on the interior of the lid. If not for two separated corners and hand inked Crab on one end, this exceptional box would grade solid Ex. The early bait is just as nice, shiny Ex, appearing unfished, in perch scale with bold red gill marks and hand painted fins, washer hardware, simple screw eye tail hanger, unmarked lip and good glass eyes.
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".
