1907 vs 1908 Heddon Fishing Minnows

 

By Dr. Michael Echols

 

 

 

The cups on a 1908 Heddon 150 or 100, which would  be found in a wood box, are raised on the front part of the cup rim to divert the hook away from the body.  The earlier 1906-7 cup, which would also be found in a wood box, is flat rimmed and not raised.  The 1908 nose is blunt and the 1906-7 nose is longer and more pointed. 

  • 1906 has nickel hardware instead of brass like the 1905

  • 1907 first version with blunt nose, except it's a little narrower and longer

  • 1908-9 typical blunt nose baits found in wood boxes

  • Additional anatomy discussion on 1904 to 1912 Heddon 100 lures
