Make: Heddon
Model: Giant Joint Vamp
Color: Natural Scale
Eyes: Glass
Condition: Fair-Good
Ebay: $136.50
Overall, nice lure. Glass eyes seem to be in tact well, not discolored. The back body segment has a clear chip in the wood on the top right. Visible aged paint cracks. All hardware looks to be in place but I've seen cleaner. Hooks have that aged look as well. The nose has some very visible wear to it as well. This antique fishing lure seems to have brought a very nice closing price at this auction.
The actual auction description could of used a lot of help:
The lure could've probably brought a better price if there was a little more meat and description in the sale.
Honorable Mention:
Heddon Punkinseed sold for $63.14. Lure had a chip in one of the eyes.
1928 Heddon Dowagiac Minnow sold for $43.55
