Heddon Dowagiac Antique Fishing Lure Model Numbers


Heddon Lure series numbers can be challenging to say the least. When your first start collecting sometimes the hard fast rule is some things just don't make sense. When fitting the pieces of the puzzle together; eg. what box goes with what antique Heddon fishing lure using a book or a chart with model numbers can be extremely helpful. I cant stress enough the power of reading and or owning books on your collecting interests. Something you can hold in your hand or refer back to like this web page while doing research on your favorite or newly found antique fishing lure will provide a invaluable resource while collecting lures.

Heddon made a variety of fishing lures for over a century. Some that worked and some that didn't work. Remember these now antique lures to us were useful tools in one of our nations favorite pastimes, fishing. Heddon made them to sell them, not thinking we would collect them. In your path of collecting antique lures you will find boxes that don't fit the era, or find them that have labels over labels, or boxes made for one lure that now house another. They used what they had and nothing went to waste. Please feel free  to reference the chart below to help you along your way.
