A friend of mine is a lure collector extraordinaire. He travels all over the world buying antique & exotic bass lures. If you have never seen a $48,000.00 Top Water Plug, here you go! It is a 1904 Heddon 100 Dowagiac Minnow. He purchased the bait with the original cardboard box. I thought it was too cool not to share.  ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/05/full-19947-97719-screen_shot_2021_05_24_at_8.43.48_pm.png)

The box is probably worth more than the actual plug.

I'm more impressed with the original cardboard box. They don't build cardboard like they used to.
I can backlash toilet paper.

Incredible find, people go nuts for those antique collectibles. Wooden duck decoys also fetch incredible amounts of money, lots of people trying to find their "rosebud."
