I bought a tackle box with several vintage lures and this one I’m not sure if it’s a good one or not. Lots of different ones to compare to on the internet. It appears to have glass eyes. [Linked Image]

The one on the left is a paw paw. The jig is a heddon. One in the middle appears homemade. Hand painted and looks like part of a can for the lip.

From what I can gather it looks like yours was made around 1900-1907. There are later ones on ebay listed for ~$150.00

Two good Heddon 5 hook baits. The first has hand painted gill marks and early hardware but appears to have been partially overpainted which hurts value. Second is not as old but better condition and perhaps almost as valuable due to the condition. Hope you get lots if you decide to sell but I suspect that the pair will bring about 100.00. The last 4, the Paw Paw and the Fred Arbogast have collector value but perhaps just 20.00 each. Still good old lures.
