Lot # 1111 (Sale Order: 111 of 622)      

2” Length. Originally from the Bill Calhoun collection, this extraordinary Barberpole Bait comes in its historically important maroon box with introductory “PAT APPLIED FOR” paper label.

CLINTON WILT CHAMPION IN WHITE WITH RED STRIPE

Lot # 1112 (Sale Order: 112 of 622)

PAW PAW BULLHEAD

Lot # 1118 (Sale Order: 118 of 622)      

Bullheads were made from 1928 until about 1937, and this example is likely from the 1930s after the company shortened the bait to 4". It carries the bent oval dive lip (less common than the “no dive lip” variety). The color is not one that was a standard offering in the 1930s, this finish is an earlier one available in the Moonlight line, No. 3 Moss Back. Painted tack eyes show some flakes, single chin weight with all its paint still attached, and an overall grade of Very Good.
