Heddon Jim Donaly (Grey) Topwater Lure – Rare Wooden Lure / Collector's Item
I purchased this item around 1997 at a vintage topwater fishing tackle shop in Urayasu City.
As it is over 50 years old, I cannot confirm the exact history, but there appear to be signs of a repair made long ago.
I believe I purchased it for around 170,000 to 180,000 yen.
I recall casting it once or twice at Lake Kameyama.
This is one of two units I bought at the time.
I was informed back then that there had been some minor paint touch-ups.
It is an item from 70 to 80 years ago.
As this is a rare and unique collector's item, please refrain from requesting returns based on reasons such as "it differs from what I imagined"; this policy is in place to prevent item swapping.
