This information
represents only the lures which I
collect and was generally taken
from my collection of Heddon catalogs, the Heddon Catalogs reference by Clyde A.
Harbin, Sr. (see reference books in Knowledge section) who in turn used and updated a 1982
article by Clarence E. Zahn for the dates.
To see what else was
happening in the world at the time these lures were produced and how many people were
around to buy them, click on the
TIME-LINE. TIME-LINE
will help put things in perspective. To look up colors and rarity for a given color

Heddon Color Charts one and two.
