Ian sent me a refreshed Heddon Vamp from the 1930's before I left Brisbane after doing a little trading with him..
Came across it a couple of days ago and thought you might be interested in the paint work,It was sent in the lovely black box as well., with a note. The paint work really pops. It is a display lure. due to its age Regards John |

One of the first restos I did! John sent me a picture recently and I'd forgotten about it...

John's lure is a very early wooden Heddon with glass eyes and was in very bad shape. I have another later one I got from "Horrorhead" that has great patina and will stay as it is...
