Dragoon,<br>If you go over to www.joeyates.com and click on the message board, there's a bunch of guys who collect old lures and know the history, value, etc., of just about anything that has hooks on it. They can tell you exactly what you have and if it's valuable or if you might just as well go ahead and fish it. Is your lure plastic or wood? Heddons in plastic, for the most part, don't carry a high value, especially if they've already been fished. Most of the really good stuff, the valuable items, date back around pre-1900, although there are some things that collectors covet that were made after that time. Let us know what you find out. Good luck.<br><br>Jerry Vovcsko<br>East Bridgewater, Mass USA

Sounds like Jerry has you right on the mark on this lure. <br><br>What kind of condition is it in would you say? Sounds like it should go back in the water for a serious run as well. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve - The MJB<br>BFT Lures/Baits<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
