DONALY REDFIN MINNOW IN PICTURE BOX

DONALY REDFIN MINNOW IN PICTURE BOX An incredible combo featuring a near pristine bait, early & rare picture box, and an almost never-seen Gold Medal insert. The minnow is solid Excellent with just one pointer on the cheek. All three flashers are present and the hardware is still shiny. The white-iris eyes are immaculate. The box will grade about Excellent Minus mainly due to the drip stain above one of the finger holes. The label extends full over each end flap, the graphics still pop against the white pasteboard background, and REDFIN is printed on each end with No “27” written in pencil. Donaly started producing these in 1911, but this one likely dates to 1915, as the rare insert references a newspaper article from 1914. This insert is one of only perhaps a few known examples and it grades Excellent Minus with a tiny tear and a little foxing. 3 - 1/4" Lure Item Dimensions: Box: 5" x 2 - 1/4" x 1". Item Dimensions:
