THE STEPHEN & CHRISTINE REBIC FISHING LURE COLLECTION
Steve and I were married nearly 40 years ago and spent most of our lives together in Indiana. In 2013, we purchased a second home in Gulfport, Florida, for two very important reasons: much of our family lived there, and Steve had grown weary of Indiana winters. While he began spending his winters in Florida, I remained in Indiana to continue working. Steve had always been an outdoorsman. He loved hunting, fishing, camping, golfing, and just about any activity that allowed him to enjoy nature. With extra time on his hands in Florida, he began browsing online for fishing lures, searching for something different from what he had seen back in Indiana. Before long, he discovered antique fishing lures, collections, and auctions. It didn’t take long before he was completely hooked. Every day he would call me to share his latest discoveries. When I visited him in Florida, we spent countless hours searching, researching, planning, and ultimately collecting. Steve was fascinated by the history, craftsmanship, and ingenuity behind these remarkable pieces. What began as a casual interest soon became a shared passion. Remarkably, after nearly 40 years of marriage, Steve and I had finally discovered a hobby that truly belonged to both of us. Collecting became our common ground. Steve was unquestionably the expert and the driving force behind our little operation, while I found great joy in displaying our treasures and showcasing their beauty, intrigue, and history. We wanted every display to tell a story. More than anything, we hoped to inspire visitors to fall in love with collecting the same way we had. Sadly, on May 23, 2026, my dear husband, life partner, and best friend passed away. While his loss leaves an immeasurable void, the passion we shared lives on through this collection. Now, I have the privilege of passing along not only these collectibles, but also the enthusiasm, history, and joy that Steve and I were fortunate enough to share. It is my hope that these treasures find new homes with friends and collectors who appreciate and love them as much as we did.

1001 - HEDDON SPOTTED DEEP-O-DIVER IN INTRO BOX Box: 4 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. A high-grade combo introduced in 1919, both bait and box grade Excellent. Catalog number 7009E was listed as White, Greenish Black Spots. This bait has shiny hardware, perfect glass eyes, and the belly weight is still sealed. The white pasteboard box is solid, very clean aside from one small internal stain, and is among the nicest known. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 2 - 1/2” Lure 400 - 800 1002 - HEDDON 107 MINNOW IN FANCY SIENNA YELLOW WITH INSERT Box: 6” x 2 - 1/2” x 1 - 1/2”. This set includes a beautiful No. 107 Minnow with its correct box, both grading about Excellent Minus. The Minnow has very clean hardware, perfect glass eyes, and a mostly sealed belly weight. The group dates to c. 1906 and the box is correctly stamped along with paper insert. “10”. 2 - 3/4” Lure 500 - 1,000 1003 - HEDDON 700 MUSKY TROLLING MINNOW IN FANCY BACK 5 - 1/2” L. All-original circa 1909-10 Musky Dowagiac Underwater Minnow. Strong Very Good Plus or better condition with nearly all the paint on the four belly weights. Three HPGM, unstamped spinners, and clear glass eyes. Hardware oxidation and some soiling. Better condition than the majority of those found. 500 - 1,000 1004 - HEDDON DUMMY DOUBLE WITH FOOTBALL RIG 3 - 1/4” L. The “football rig” style of side hanger was made only in 1913, then discontinued the next year due to high production cost. The bait has three factory-original Dummy Double hooks, marked spinners, and nice glass eyes. There is a single set of HPGM and a ring around the belly weight. It’s a nice example of a tough-to-find bait in Excellent Minus condition. 500 - 1,000
LOT - 1005
1005 - BOXED HEDDON 105 MINNOW IN YELLOW Box: 6” x 2 - 1/2” x 1 - 1/2”. A rare beautiful circa 1908 “Wilbourne Special” example with Yellow sides and belly, blending to Orange towards the back. Spotless hardware and perfect glass eyes with hand painted gills and a ring around the belly weight. The box is Excellent and it is correctly marked at both ends. Box paper is about Excellent Minus. 2 - 3/4” Lure 600 - 1,200

1006 - SPECIAL ORDER HEDDON MINNOW YELLOW WITH BLACK HEAD Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Heddon 100 minnows are almost never seen in this color, and this 109F is in about Excellent Minus condition and it comes in an unstamped Downleaping Bass box. Hardware is mostly clean with only a bit of hook rust, and both glass eyes are solid. It has marked spinners, L-Rig side hangers, and the paint is 98% on the belly weight. The box has light corner wear and grades Excellent Minus. 2 - 3/4” Lure 750 - 1,500
LOT - 1006
1007 - EXTRAORDINARY BOXED HEDDON KILLER TRADE MINNOW Box: 5 - 1/4” x 2” x 1 - 1/4”. These Killers were made by Heddon and sold by other retailers such as VL&A around 1908. They are among the earliest “Trade” baits, and correspondingly this example has the right “Trade” characteristics like South Bend-style blunt-tip props, two (instead of three) sets of HPGM and brass screw eyes & bearings. The beautiful round-body minnow has clear glass eyes, Excellent paint, and is finished in Green Back, White Belly. The rare maroon box is in about Very Good Plus condition with edge & corner wear and a blemish on top. The paper label is almost completely intact, and the end panel is clearly stamped “No. 5002”, so check your VL&A catalog for a match. It should be noted that there are three different border styles to be found on these boxes, and this diamond pattern is believed to be the hardest to find. 3 - 1/4” Lure 1,000 - 2,000
LOT - 1007
SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS
1008 - HEDDON ICE DECOY GOLDFISH IN CORRECT BOX Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Probably made around 1926-7 when Heddon promoted ordering this bait “in any standard finish”. Goldfish is a standard Heddon finish, but it was never a catalog color on the Decoy Ice Minnow. Model number 409K is correctly stamped on one end of the Upleaping Bass box, which grades Excellent Minus or better, with just a little wear on the corners. The bait is an outstanding example of the “Four-Point” design, with spot-free hardware, perfect glass eyes, and fully sealed belly weights. Unlikely to ever be upgraded. 4 - 1/4” Lure 1,500 - 3,000

1009 - HEDDON YELLOW HEAD SLOPENOSE IN CORRECT ERA BOX Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Considered the only 3 hook Yellow Head example known at the time of writing of The Heddon Legacy, they don’t come any rarer than this. Fitted with nickel-plated hardware, indicating a circa 1906 production date. Clean white body paint, highly unusual yellow head, and the hand-painted two-pin collar, which retains the majority of its paint. It grades strong Very Good or better. It has been paired with a correct-era red, white, & blue pasteboard box, which is unmarked as far as a model number on the end panels. The box has staining and edge wear, and appears to have a corrected and stabilized push-through on the top side. Potentially a once in a lifetime opportunity to add one of Heddon’s rarest and most iconic combos to your collection. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 4- 1/4” Lure 3,000 - 6,000 1010 - HEDDON BATWING DECOY IN UNCATALOGUED SLATE 4 - 1/4” L. Heddon’s Slate finish was never a catalog option on their spearing decoys, making this beauty a very rare find. This example has evenly scattered varnish flakes and a small chip off the belly weight, grading about Excellent Minus. Clearly marked “2nd” next to the 3 sets of HPGM, this iteration has the attached tail (new in 1919), 3-loop pigtail line tie, and clear glass eyes. Certainly, one of the highest-grade examples in this special-order color. 1,500 - 3,000 1011 - HEDDON MUSKY TROLLING MINNOW IN RAINBOW 5 - 1/2” L. An impressively clean example of Heddon’s much sought-after 701 Dowagiac Musky Trolling Minnow. Unstamped spinners, Cup-rig hangers, and oversize hooks are nearly flawless and both amber glass eyes are clear & solid. The paint is exceptionally nice for a bait of this size and age, with the bumpiness on the forehead being consistent with the normal aging of such an early bait. 3 sets of perfectly executed HPGM, and the 4 belly weights still retain about 80% of their paint. It grades at least strong Excellent Minus and maybe better. 1,000 - 2,000

1012 - HEDDON 154 MINNOW WITH BOX & PAPER Box: 6” x 2 - 1/2” x 1 - 3/4”. The set comes with a nice minnow, rare correct paper, and a reproduction box. The insert is the fourth & final Heddon wood box paper and grades Excellent Minus with a little wear at the top & bottom edges, and the topmost panel shows tiny rust stains from contact with hooks. The Minnow grades about Excellent with minor varnish crackling, full belly weight paint, nice glass eyes, unstamped spinners, and Cup-rig hangers. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 3 - 3/4” Lure 300 - 600 1013 - HEDDON DOWAGIAC DECOY MINNOW FOR ICE SPEARING Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 1/4”. This decoy is in the exact configuration of the bait shown in the inaugural 1913 ad for “Heddon’s Genuine Dowagiac Decoy Minnow for Ice Spearing”. There are only four unmarked fins, inserted into the body. Another 1913 variation has the same style body with six angular fins; however, this four-fin version seems to be the most difficult to locate. A second line tie has been added by a fisherman, and there are two patches of missing paint at the tail & belly, and evidence that these patches were overpainted red at some point. The red gills are still present and the glass eyes are solid and the bait grades Average. Of particular note is the incredibly rare correctly marked Downleaping Bass box. It is in Excellent Minus condition, and carries the coveted “ICE” MINNOW No. “YELLOW PERCH” stamp at both ends. 5 - 1/4” Lure 500 - 1,000 1014 - HEDDON HARDEN’S STAR IN PERCH SCALE Lure: 4” L. This rare bait was a special order made for Walter Harden. It’s essentially a Zaragossa rigged like an SOS, with a floppy prop on the nose, and a tube prop at the rear. Genuine Harden’s Stars are always printed as such on the belly, and this example would be model number WH6509L. It has clean hardware, perfect glass eyes and grades full Excellent. Lure: 4” L. 500 - 1,000

1015 - INTRO HEDDON ARTISTIC MINNOW WITH BUOY Box: 4 - 1/2” x 1 - 3/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Initially produced in 1907, this is the first-version box with “Heddon & Son”. 1911 & later boxes are printed “Heddon’s Sons”. The box end is correctly labeled Fancy Sienna No 50 and it grades Very Good or better. The Minnow & Buoy are both Excellent with a full bucktail, sealed belly weight, solid glass eyes, and gold-washed prop. The combo includes the rare & correct insert, which has become detached at most of the folds. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 1 - 3/4” Lure 500 - 1,000
1017 - HEDDON “OUGHT” MINNOW IN SPECIAL GREEN SCALE Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Special order colors in Heddon’s Ought series are quite uncommon, especially in a scale finish. A five-sided body with tight green scales, a dark back, and a white belly. This example grades Very Good Plus with belly agelines, a hairline in the left eye, and a little light rust on the hooks. It’s housed in its correct Upleaping Bass box, stamped 09D on both ends. The box grades Good Plus with soiling, edge & corner wear, and one of the end labels with a bit missing. 3 - 1/4” Lure 400 - 800
1016 - HEDDON 104 MINNOW IN BLENDED RED Box: 6” x 2 - 1/2” x 1 - 1/2”. Two belly weight model with both bait and box dating to 1905-06. Unmarked spinners, nice glass eyes, and most of the paint still attached to the belly weights, the bait grades Very Good Plus. The Minnow lives in a really nice, Excellent condition two-way slide top box, correctly stamped 104 at both ends. 2 - 3/4” Lure 500 - 1,000
1018 - HEDDON HEAVY CASTING MINNOW SLATE WITH WOOD BOX Box: 6” x 2 - 1/2” x 2 - 1/4”. Made circa 1910-11, these rare baits utilize a 150 body with only 3 heavy duty hooks. Unmarked spinners, a hairline in the right eye, and paint mostly off the belly weight. The bait grades strong Very Good Plus while the correctly marked type V TALL box grades about Excellent Minus. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 3 - 1/4” Lure 400 - 800

Very Good Plus condition, this all-original bait has un-stamped spinners, Clear glass eyes, and 3 perfect sets of HPGM. The belly weight is mostly exposed, and there is a bit of rust on the oversized, nickel-plated hooks. Heavy Casting Minnows in any color are not common at all, and this one is nicer than average. 250 - 500 1022 - PFLUEGER MONARCH MINNOW IN CORRECT WOOD BOX BOX: 5” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/2”. Model 2173 in Rainbow with gem clip hangers and unmarked props. Both circa 1910 Minnow & box are in Excellent Minus condition, and the solid wood box is correctly stamped on one end.

1024 - RARE PFLUEGER LUMINOUS MAYBUG 1 - 3/4” L. Unmarked model 975, appearing in catalogs starting in 1890. Still with most of the belly paint, but the red on the back side is mostly gone. Original box swivel and faceted rear spacer, and in Very Good or better condition. 500 - 1,000 1025 - MAROON BOX FOR PFLUEGER ELECTRIC MINNOW 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/2”. The Electric Minnow evolved from the Floating Monarch Minnow in 1914, and this box is the earlier of the two versions. The minnow that fits this box will have one rear and one belly hook mounted with a Neverfail hanger, and it will have a Bulldog prop with the words “Electric” and “Pflueger”. The box is not stamped with a color code, so any one of the 10 standard color 2.75-inch models will fit in here. The box is solid and nice, with a bit of bleed, and grades at least Very Good Plus, maybe better. 300 - 600 1026 - RARE PFLUEGER NEVERFAIL IN MINNESOTA MINNOW BOX Box: 4 - 3/4” x 2” x 1”. Only a few of these Minnesota Minnow maroon boxes have turned up. The label bears the Pflueger patent date, and the retailer who sold these has not been conclusively established. The box has wear and discoloration to the white label; therefore, it grades around good. 3” Lure. 300 - 600 1027 - PFLUEGER – SKILTON’S “EXTRONG” WOODEN MINNOW Box: 4 - 3/4” x 2” x 1”. Made by Pflueger and distributed by T.S. Skilton of Winsted, CT. The Minnow is finished in Perch, has great glass eyes, Neverfail hangers, and grades Excellent Minus.

One-piece metal fin and a nicely patinated box swivel line tie. Hard to find in any condition with this example grading Very Good Plus or better. 250 - 500
1031 - SHAKESPEARE WOOD REVOLUTION 4” L. This c. 1900 first production model follows the cork-body Rhodes baits, and precedes the aluminum body baits which appeared in 1902. Given their brief production run, they can be difficult to locate. Wired-through, with the pressure-fit box swivel present on all models that followed. Dual, unstamped Mickey Mouse props and the signature floating collar mounted just before the hooks. Strong Very Good Plus condition with fantastic patina From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 1,000 - 2,000

1042 - PAW PAW OPEN MOUTH DECOY IN PERCH Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Extraordinary condition on this very rare “Open-Mouth” variant. Absent of any wear from use aside from a tiny bruise on the left flank, this nearly pristine gem grades Excellent Plus. According to Frank Baron in his Commercial Decoys book, only “a few examples of an open mouth model have been found”. 100% of the paint still attached to the fins and the bellyweights look factory fresh. Box grades about Excellent Minus only due to a small crunch on one corner. There appears to be an end stamp but it is too faint to read. 5 - 1/4” Lure 500 - 1,000 1043 - BOXED PAW PAW DECOY IN RED HORSE SUCKER Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”.

Visually striking, with its bold red scale pattern, and in Excellent condition, having only a few small fin flakes. The painted tack eyes are both intact and the three belly weights still hold all of their paint. The Very Good Plus box is marked 2812, which corresponds to either Silver Flash or Special Order. 5 - 1/8” Lure 400 - 800 LOT - 1042
1044 - THE MOONLIGHT FLOATING BAIT IN BOX Box: 2” x 5 - 1/2” x 1 - 1/4”. Earlier combo dating to the Teens.

This is a nice example of the early, correct pasteboard box, and it grades the same as the lure. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 4 - 3/4” Lure 400 - 800

The label extends full over each end flap, the graphics still pop against the white pasteboard background, and REDFIN is printed on each end with No “27” written in pencil. Donaly started producing these in 1911, but this one likely dates to 1915, as the rare insert references a newspaper article from 1914.

1096 - KINNEY BIRD IN RED WING BLACKBIRD 4” L. A creation of Herbert Kinney of Tampa, Florida, starting in 1919 and originally produced under the name “H.A. Kinney Co.”. This legendary classic was not patented until his partnership with Heddon began in about 1927, and this relationship would only last between one and two years. During that short time, though, Heddon is known to have painted at least five distinct patterns on the Kinney Bird. This example grades About Good with some chips, a bit of varnish flaking and / or overvarnishing, and some hardware oxidation. Both glass eyes are blemish free. It was originally advertised as “The World’s First Bird Lure”, and this iconic bait with Michigan and Florida connections continues to resonate with collectors more than most other baits. 500 - 1,000 1097 - EXPERIMENTAL UNDERWATER REEL LURE IN GREEN & WHITE 2 - 3/4” L.

1160 - HEDDON FIVE-HOOK 300 SURFACE MINNOW 3 - 3/4” Length. A stellar example in a very rare configuration. Factory original with the front hooks having a longer shank than the rear ones. Marked spinners, flawless glass eyes, and a ringed belly weight. It would be hard to imagine there are any nicer examples out there than this one, and it is certainly among the finest five-hook Dowagiac Surface Minnows in existence. 500 - 1,000
1159 - BLUE SCALE HEDDON VAMP IN CORRECT BOX Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. A very tough to find bait coming in its correct, even tougher to find Downleaping Bass box. The overall condition of the bait, with its clear glass eyes and shiny hardware, is Excellent Minus, however the rear hanger has broken off and the hook is missing, so the net grade is Very Good Plus. Perhaps this can be corrected with a skilled hand. The box is quite nice, approaching Excellent Minus, and has some minor soiling, a little wear at one corner, and a clear 7509X stamp at both ends. 4 - 1/2” Lure 500 - 1,000

1161 - HEDDON 101 MINNOW IN BLUE BORDER BOX Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. The blue border box is by far one of Heddon’s hardest to find boxes, as they were only used in the 1912 season. This one is correctly marked 101 on both end flaps. A little wear with all seams remaining solidly intact, and the box grades Excellent Minus. Housed inside is a very nice fat body minnow in Rainbow, with only a little flaking to the varnish. It has perfect glass eyes, marked props, shiny hardware, and full paint on the belly weight. The minnow grades Excellent, and the set comes with an Excellent Minus “Dowagiac” Minnows insert. 3” Lure 600 - 1,200

Heddon’s Musky Minnow was never a standard offering in this color, and this rare bait dates to 1911 as that was the introductory year of this body style and the spinners are unmarked. Good glass eyes and still has the original oversized hooks. Perfect glass eyes and a grade of about Excellent Minus. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 2,000 - 4,000

1164 - THE SMITH MINNOW FROM THE HEDDON FACTORY BOARD 3 - 1/4” L. Charles H. Smith operated the LaGrange Bait Co. in Indiana and was making these baits around 1905. This exact minnow belonged to Will Heddon, who handmade his own version based on this one. This Minnow can clearly be seen in photos of the factory board and it is featured in The Heddon Legacy on page 177. This important bait features blemish-free milky glass eyes, brass screw eyes, un-plated hooks, and an ingenious mechanical tail. Two belly weights and with some wear from use, this bait grades Very Good Plus. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 5,000 - 10,000 45

1165 - SOLID EXCELLENT HEDDON BLACK SUCKER 6” L. No need to ever upgrade this stunner. Made around 1920 with marked props, good glass eyes, and the heavy-duty L-rig side hangers. The hooks show only faint traces of oxidation and all the belly weights are still completely sealed under paint. Few model 1300s in this exceptional state of preservation are still around. 1,500 - 3,000
1167 - EARLY HEDDON DECOY ICE MINNOW IN BAR PERCH Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Starting in 1914, Heddon began stamping the name on the decoy wings, and the carved tail only lasted until 1919, so this bait was made in that 5-year window. This example is clean with bright hardware but it does have agelines so the grade is between Very Good Plus and Excellent Minus. The eyes are clear & solid and the bellyweights are just about completely covered. The nice Downleaping Bass box is at least Very Good Plus, and there are code stamps at both ends but they are difficult to make out. 5” Lure 600 - 1,200
1166 - HEDDON KILLER WOODEN MINNOW IN SPOTTED FINISH Box: 5 - 1/2” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Made by Heddon to be sold by other retailers like Edward Tryon and VL&A, the Killer is considered to be an early “trade” bait. This is evidenced by the two sets of gills instead of three, and the South Bend-style blunt-tip props. It has a slim profile, as was typical of some of the underwater minnows made 1908-10. Nice hardware, good glass eyes, a sealed belly weight, this bait grades about Excellent Minus. The nice Zig-Zag border maroon box has a little staining and separated end flaps on the box bottom, so it gets a grade of Very Good Plus. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 3 - 3/4” Lure 1,000 - 2,000

1168 - HEDDON FOUR-POINT ICE DECOY IN SHINER SCALE Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Catalogued in this color from 1925-27, any Heddon decoy in a scale finish is a bit tougher to find, as most were produced only in the waning few years of production. This example is in nicer condition, approaching Excellent Minus, with rings around the 5 belly weights and some agelines. The glass eyes are perfect and the hardware is very clean. It has its correct Upleaping box which is solid all around, has a little wear to the corners, and grades about Excellent Minus. 4 - 1/4” Lure 500 - 1,000

1171 - HEDDON DUMMY DOUBLE DUO Each: 3 - 1/4” L. Both model 1500-S finished in White, Green & Red Spots. Top example has the rare 1913 “Football” side hangers, which were only produced that year. In 1914, Heddon switched to the L-Rig hangers, as seen on the lower Minnow. Both baits grade Good Plus or better, have good glass eyes, and are rigged with three DD hooks. 400 - 800 1172 - HEDDON 157 IN SIENNA CRACKLEBACK Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Fancy Sienna-Yellow belly was only available by special order on these minnows up to 1912. This example has stamped spinners, Cup rig, and the red belly stencil. Condition is about Excellent Minus with a few minor blemishes and a hint of hook oxidation. Both glass eyes are solid and the belly weight is still sealed under the paint. The bait is paired with a c. 1924 unmarked Downleaping Bass box in at least Very Good Plus condition, maybe better. 3 - 3/4” Lure 300 - 600

The Minnow shows agelines and varnish loss with solid glass eyes and unmarked spinners. 2 - 3/4” Lure 300 - 600 1174 - HEDDON 177 CASTING MINNOW IN SLATE 3 - 3/4” Length. Blended White, Slate Back was a catalogued color on this model starting in 1910, and this example with stamped spinners would have been made from 1912-15. The Heavy Casting Minnow is essentially a five-hook body rigged with 3 heavy-duty hooks. These were intended for bigger fish, thus finding one in better condition can be a challenge. This example stands up to that challenge though, grading strong Excellent Minus with just a little varnish flaking, clean hardware, and good glass eyes. 250 - 500

This example still has its shallow diving lip attached, is fitted with Neverfail hangers which were new at the time of introduction, and rhinestone eyes which were a very uncommon feature of the time.

Good luck trying to ever upgrade this piece. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 500 - 1,000 1188 - SHAKESPEARE REVOLUTION IN RED & WHITE 2” L. Painted Revolutions are far scarcer than the plain aluminum ones. This example has Rhodes props and an acorn-shaped rear section. The rear treble was likely fisherman-added. Paint loss is nearly always an issue with painted Revolutions; however, this bait still retains about 85% of its paint, and grades Very Good Plus, making it one of the better examples known in this color.

1198 - TRANSITIONAL PAW PAW LARGE SPEARING DECOY IN BOX Box: 8 - 1/4” x 2 - 3/4” x 1 - 1/2”. Probably made right around 1929-30 at the time Moonlight was evolving into Paw Paw. The finish has a definite Moonlight vibe; however, the plain pasteboard boxes are more of a Paw Paw thing. The sides of the bait have an olive tone, with the back fading to black decorated with subtle black bars with black & silver dots. White belly paint covers all three weights, and both painted tack eyes look good. Flaked fins and chipping on the forehead and a grade of Very Good Plus.

Made circa 1928-29, the Moonlight version of these decoys is not often found, as they migrated to the Paw Paw line around 1930. With some chipping at the tips of the fins, and tight agelines, this Very Good Plus example would be very hard to upgrade, considering there are likely not many of these out there in this color. 300 - 600 1201 - MOONLIGHT BROWN TROUT DECOY FROM THE SWARTZ & BARON BOOKS 6 - 1/2” L. You can find this decoy in Frank Baron’s book on pages 129-30 and Greg Swartz’s Moonlight book on page 159. Very few of these hand carved and painted decoys were produced, as they were apparently difficult to manufacture in quantity. They are thought to have been produced prior to 1928. This example is finished in a Brown Trout pattern, and has six painted, inserted fins, and prominent red gills. The glass eyes are solid and the 3 belly weights retain about half of their original paint with the overall grade being Very Good Plus. 300 - 600

Its original box would have been marked “3405 SPECIAL” since Redside Scale was never a standard color on this model. The Minnow’s paint is Excellent with only some minor agelines and both glass eyes are solid. It has the double line tie, thin & unimproved lip, and it’s likely that at least a couple of the hooks have been changed out. This can easily be remedied using a donor bait. It is paired with an Excellent Minus oversize green label box stamped for a 3201 SPECIAL (which would be for an early Musky Plunker in Perch Scale rigged with HD hardware).

These minnows are rare, with maybe a couple dozen or so accounted for in collections, but the boxes are far scarcer, with only 3 currently known. This example is completely intact, and it is correctly marked COPPER on both ends, matching the lure. It has some wear along the edges and some staining, and the deep black printing is still dark & rich and really pops against the light blue background. The box grades around Very Good, and the Minnow gets a similar net grade. The copper finish shows a little verdigris, and the red in the eyes looks touched-up.

1361 - THE WILL HEDDON HAND MADE EXPERIMENTAL SMITH MINNOW 3” L. There are few individual baits in the Heddon universe that have achieved more awe-inspired reactions and genuine fascination than Will Heddon’s copy of the Charles Smith Minnow. It is a one-off, and was created circa 1905 using the body of a Heddon 100, along with its prop & line tie. Heddon copied the dorsal fin and tail apparatus almost exactly, but instead of attaching the rear hook to the body, he devised a wire frame for it, so as to carry the hook behind the tail. This story is told with pictures in The Heddon Legacy on page 177. Clearly, the Minnow was deemed not worthy of production, leaving this rare gem and its awesome history to be appreciated by collectors. It is unique, experimental, and hand-crafted, and therefore it is impossible to grade. Its history, ingenuity, and craftsmanship all elevate this bait to legendary status, and its next caretaker will have the honor of preserving a very important piece of Heddon history. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 3,000 - 6,000 1362 - HEDDON 300 SURFACE MINNOW IN BAR PERCH 3 - 3/4” Length.

While this example is rough, it is also very rare. Originally, this was rigged with six metal fins, the only ones remaining being the left pectoral and adipose fins. There is evidence of the line tie having been moved, and additional lead has been added to the belly.

The bait is in about Excellent condition with a few agelines and a partially flaked right eye. The box is solid and believed to be correct for this special-order lure, as 5100 is the model number to its sister lure, the Dreadnought, and 18 is the color code for Silver Flash. 6 - 1/4” Lure 200 - 400 1400 - MOONLIGHT BROOK TROUT DECOY FROM THE SWARTZ & BARON BOOKS 7” L. You can find this decoy in Frank Baron’s book on pages 129-30 and Greg Swartz’s Moonlight book on page 159. There are very few of these hand carved and painted decoys produced, as apparently, they proved difficult to manufacture in quantity. They are thought to have been produced prior to 1928. This example has perfect glass eyes, six metal fins, and 3 bellyweights. It grades Very Good or better with flaking on the fins and some crackling in the body paint. 300 - 600 96
1401 - LARGE-SIZE MOONLIGHT DECOY IN BROWN TROUT 7 - 1/4” L. Made towards the very end of the Moonlight era in 1928-29, this version of Brown Trout has a brownish-red tone, with gold & black dots across the back, and faint black ribs under the dots. This decoy has seen some action, and as a result the six inserted fins are missing most of their paint. The 3 belly weights, however, still retain most of their paint, as do the painted tack eyes. With agelines and flaking at the nose, this coveted piece grades Good Plus. 250 - 500 1402 - LOT OF 12 DICK MOORE MUSKY SURFACE LURES Largest: 10” L.

A spectacular take on the colorations of the Northern Pike, Jim’s attention to detail on this example is a showcase of his finer work.

About 1905, Will & Laura Heddon were selling “Mohawk Casting & Trolling” lures from their home in Florida.

Finished in White, Red Tips and with 3 belly weights, this circa 1905 bait features unstamped tube props and oversized hooks, and grades Very Good to Very Good Plus. The incredibly rare wood box still bears the Hawley paper label, and is in about Very Good condition with only a few small tears and stains.

Small red touch up near left eye, some bleed through on the underside and a few pointers, with a grade of Very Good Plus. Lure: 3 - 3/4” L. 600 - 1,200
1461 - NICE HEDDON 1300 BLACK SUCKER 5 - 3/4” L. Lighter than usual coloration, the back is like a dark grey instead of the usual jet black, and the pinkish sides and cheeks are quite subtle. Condition is Excellent Minus on this super attractive minnow, with some minor varnish flaking, clean hardware, and solid glass eyes. The paint is still over all the belly weights and this one clearly didn’t see much use. 1,000 - 2,000
1462 - HEDDON RIMLESS CUP SLOPENOSE WITH INTRO BOX Box: 5” x 2” x 1 - 1/4”. One of the rarest and most coveted pieces in this incredible collection. Dating to the first five or six weeks of Heddon production in early 1902, according to the owners of The Heddon Museum, there are currently three known examples of this introductory black box with silver printing. The box itself shows some even wear on the edges with one detached corner on the lid. The correct “chalky” white paint on the bait itself is showing wear as expected, as these very first baits came from the factory without varnish. You can clearly see the hand-painted, friction-fit, red-painted aluminum collar has been locked in place for over 120 years. Brass ties, tail cap, and most importantly rimless belly cup. It is reported that less than a dozen of these earliest Rimless Cup Slopenoses exist in collections today. The historical importance of this lot cannot be overstated, as precious few examples from Heddon’s earliest days have survived. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 4” Lure 5,000 - 10,000 LOT - 1462 108

LOT - 1466 LOT - 1465 1463 - HEDDON FOUR HOOK RIMLESS CUP SLOPENOSE COMBO Box: 5 - 1/2” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. An incredible combination of early and rare, the authors of The Heddon Legacy point out that, at the time of publishing, there were only three known examples of the Four-Hook configuration with rimless cups. Rimless cups were only used during the first month or two of production, so we know that this lure celebrated its 124th birthday this year. In grading a bait this early, it’s important to take into account that the production standards were just not at the level of later years, and so inferior paint with a lack of primer tends to make a bait look more “used” than it really was. That said, a grade of at least Very Good is appropriate here. The “Oak Leaf” border box is correctly marked No. 2 on both ends. It has edge wear, light staining, a push through on top, and a little missing end label, and thus grades Good Plus or better. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 4” Lure 2,500 - 5,000 1464 - HEDDON BATWING DECOY IN BAR PERCH Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. This example can be dated to c. 1918 as it shows the transitional rigging of the four-loop pigtail line tie as well as the inserted tail fin. It comes in a Very Good condition correct-era box with some very faint code stamping on one end. The rare minnow has clean hardware and solid glass eyes. There are a few lateral agelines resulting in some varnish flaking and a little belly paint missing adjacent to the belly weights. It grades Very Good Plus, and judging from the nice condition of the metal, it was likely not fished very much. 4 - 1/4” Lure 1,000 - 2,000
1465 - HEDDON BAR PERCH MINNOW IN WHITE BORDER BOX Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Heddon tried out several new packaging concepts in 1912, including this Downleaping Bass box with a white border. It would quickly be replaced by the red border box later the same season. The Dowagiac Minnows insert also dates to early 1912, and along with the box end stamp that reads 109-A, certifies this as a completely correct combo. The minnow is strong Excellent Minus with solid eyes, spotless hardware, and a small flake off the belly weight. The rare box and paper both grade Very Good. 2 - 3/4” Lure 500 - 1,000 1466 - HEDDON THREE HOOK 300 MINNOW 3 - 3/4” length. A fine example of a special-order Dowagiac Surface Minnow in a very popular color. About Excellent condition Fancy Back with red chin blush finish, there is an ageline, couple varnish flakes, and some soiling that may clean at the nose. This circa 1920 bait has clean stamped spinners & L-rig hangers, with a sealed belly weight and perfect glass eyes. 400 - 800

Interestingly, the belly hanger is drilled for an L-rig, however, it is rigged with an EZ-off hanger with a brad inserted into the L-rig hole. Other factory-original Heddons have been found rigged this way. Overall, a very high-grade bait with lots of eye appeal. 250 - 500

An extraordinary combo, the lure is finished in White with Slate Back and Red Eye Blush, which is an uncatalogued color for this bait. It has scattered varnish flaking along with a few pointers. Oversized hardware is fairly clean and the amber glass eyes are perfect. The spinner at the nose is marked, which matches the huge Downleaping Bass box, both dating to 1912. The box has some splitting along the top and is marked 1300 on both ends. Lure 5 1/2” L. 5,000 - 10,000 2188 - HEDDON 002 IN PINE TREE BOX COMBO Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. All three pieces in Excellent Minus or better condition. Lipstick wet shine on the stunning Red, Black Decorations finish with the gleaming hardware matching the preservation of the paint. The belly weight is still fully covered, and the glass eyes are flawless. The rare Pine Tree box dates to 1912 and it is one of the most highly sought-after Heddon boxes. It is stamped on both ends with possibly the correct 002; however, both stamps are too weak to say for sure. Rounding out the lot is a correct 1911-12 Dowagiac Minnows insert. 3 - 1/2” Lure 1,500 - 3,000 2189 - BOXED HEDDON 156 MINNOW GOLD, RED EYES Box: 5 - 3/4” x 2 - 1/4” x 1 - 1/4”. Dating to the late 1920’s, this striking version of collector-favorite Gold finish comes with a white nose and brightly-painted red eyes. While Gold was a catalogued color on the earlier cup-rigged 150s, the later L-rigged models had to be special ordered. This Excellent Minus bait has perfect glass eyes, minor scattered varnish flakes, and the Gold body has mellowed to a deep, rich chocolatey tone. The upleaping box grades about Excellent Minus, has the color code label still attached to the bottom, and is stamped on at least one end panel, but the stamp is too faint to read. Also included is a very nice red-border fold-out catalog. 3 - 3/4” Lure 750 - 1,500 170

This minnow grades about Very Good Minus with unstamped spinners and a hairlined right eye. The wood box has slivers of slider rail missing and a slightly faded top stamp, is correctly marked at both ends, and grades Very Good. 2 - 3/4” Lure 400 - 800 2194 - HEDDON SIX HOOK MUSKY MINNOW IN PIKE SCALE 3 - 3/4” L. The Heddon 300 Dowagiac Surface Minnow could be special ordered in this configuration by the Musky fisherman looking for a little extra insurance. And while many colors were standard on this bait, Pike Scale never was, resulting in this extra rare model 309M from the late 1930s. The bait has seen a few casts, and overall, it grades Very Good Plus or better with mainly a few shallow hook drags. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 300 - 600

Carl Johnson invented a series of baits in 1935 where the hooks are designed to swing away from the lure after a strike. The somewhat complicated mechanisms, quality workmanship, and eye-catching finishes have resulting in these baits becoming quite popular today. In 1949, an ad for the Anderson Minnow boasted it was so “tricky”, it was banned in 3 states. The spring hook action still works as intended on this Perch colored bait.

2296 - RARE W. D. CHAPMAN & SON CANVAS ADVERTISING FLY CASE, ROCHESTER, N.Y. A rare and possibly unique advertising fly case from W. D. Chapman & Son, one of the most important American tackle makers of the 19th century. William Dana Chapman (1820–1909) was a jeweler and inventor from Theresa, N.Y. Collectors regard him as one of the great pioneers of the American metal lure, and he held patents on the Minnow Propeller, Combination Minnow, Allure and Omega. He moved the business to Rochester in 1887, and the State Street store failed in 1893. The Rochester address therefore places this case within a window of about six years. Advertising giveaways like this were meant to be used and thrown away, and very few survived. The case is a fine display piece for the advanced Chapman, early American tackle, or sporting advertising collector. Condition: Good. Exhibits age-related toning, light soiling, and scattered spotting. Printing remains crisp and binding intact. 700 - 900 2297 - SILVER CREEK, PAW PAW, AND FLYROD BAITS Largest: 2 - 1/4” L.

You will be responsible for all shipping and transfer costs incurred. o Modern handguns are required to be shipped via UPS 2-Day Air. o Modern long guns are shipped via UPS ground to the FFL dealer. o Upon receipt of the invoice, buyer is to confirm the FFL validity and ship to address on the invoice.

Estimated time for processing and approval of Form 4 is 9-12 months. o Dealers and Individuals that bid on and win NFA or DD items own the items and are fully responsible for payment within terms regardless of whether the BATF approves their taking physical possession of the items. MORPHY’S will not cancel the sale due to BATF disapproval for any reason. • Long guns will only be sold to persons 18 years of age, or older. Handguns will only be sold to those persons 21 years of age, or older. Dealers are bound by these minimum age requirements. • Since all firearms sold are “collectible” items, MORPHY’S does not test the safety or warrant functionality of these firearms. All firearm purchases should be examined by a certified gunsmith prior to shooting. • MORPHY’S reserves the right to deny the sale of a firearm to any buyer.
GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective buyers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential buyers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions. It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions.

BIDDING RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES
The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. MORPHY’S and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full (continued...)
bidder
Terms & Conditions responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. MORPHY’S is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with the internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding. • AGENT BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept bids from an individual agent authorized by a company or another individual. MORPHY’s requires any agent to provide a signed letter of authorization from the buyer of record company or individual allowing the agent to bid on their behalf. • ABSENTEE BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept absentee bids submitted via telephone call, in person, mail, fax or through www. morphyauctions.com. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form (available online) and clearly mark the lot number, title, and maximum bid amount. All bids must be left in increments as explained on our bid form. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. Bidders may preview, register, and place bids online through our website, www. morphyauctions.com. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the MORPHY’S absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated. • ONLINE BIDDING - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions. com, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Proxibid, or other bidding platforms may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply. A surcharge will be added for third party online platforms. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium. If there is a tie bid between the online bid and a floor bid, the floor bid takes precedence. Due to our fast-paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, online bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Online bidders are fully responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally. • BID RESULTS – Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from MORPHY’S. MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, shipping, handling, insurance, taxes, and any other charges that apply. Invoices and any outstanding amount due may and will be auto charged to the credit card on file within 48 hours of the invoice being sent. If you wish to pay by another method, please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. • TELEPHONE BIDDING - Requests for phone lines must be received at least three (3) days prior to the auction date. MORPHY’S cannot guarantee phone lines but will make every attempt to accommodate those who wish to participate through that method. Phone lines are provided on a first come first served basis. Please visit www.morphyauctions.com or call 877-968-8880 to register for a telephone bid.
BID INCREMENTS
Bid increments listed are a general guideline. Actual increments are at the auctioneer’s discretion. If a lot does not receive a bid of 50% of the low estimate, the lot will be passed by the auctioneer. $0 - $500…................$25 $500 - $1,000….........$50 $1,000 - $2,000…......$100 $2,000 - $5,000…......$200 $5,000 - $10,000....…$500 $10,000 +…............... Auctioneer’s discretion
RESERVES
Most of our items are unreserved, but occasionally items may carry a moderate reserve. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below our low estimate. In the case of a reserved item, the seller has authorized the auctioneer to bid on their behalf until the reserve price is reached.
BUYER’S PREMIUM
A 20% buyer’s premium will be added to all successful bids and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase cost. A 3% merchant fee is also automatically applied to all invoices but can be discounted upon payment by cash, check, money order or wire transfer that is received within 7 days from the receipt of the invoice. If the type of payment is split, invoice will reflect the 3% charge for merchant fees on the entire invoice. In addition, a surcharge will be added for certain third-party online bidding platforms the bidder utilizes. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium.
SALES TAX
MORPHY’S is required by law to collect sales tax where our company has nexus. Sales tax rate will be charged by law on behalf of the state and locality where the customer of record takes possession of their purchase. Lots are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless the required form and copy of permit are on file with MORPHY’S. It is the bidder’s responsibility to know the sales tax rate applicable. As a convenience and without any guarantee, you may use this website, https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator, as a resource to calculate your applicable sales tax rate. Bidder agrees to pay MORPHY’S the actual amount of tax due if sales tax is not properly collected due to 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form and certificate must be on file at and verified by MORPHY’S five days prior to the auction, or the tax must be paid. If the required form and certificate is received by MORPHY’S within 4 days of the conclusion of the auction, you qualify for a refund for the tax paid. Lots from different auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.
PAYMENT, INTEREST & STORAGE FEES
Any invoice totaling more than $100,000 must be paid within three (3) days. All other merchandise must be paid in full within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice.

No credit cards will be accepted for invoices containing these items. • CREDIT CARD –We will not accept credit card payment for any jewelry, watch, coin or currency purchases or on any purchases that Morphy’s deems to be at risk for fraud. If a credit card is used as any form of total payment, invoice will reflect a 3% surcharge on the entire invoice. This charge is automatically added but will be discounted if payment is received by cash, check, money order or wire transfer. MORPHY’s reserves the right to refuse to ship to a different address than the billing address on the credit card being used. • CHECK - There will be a $30.00 service charge for returned checks. Make checks payable to: Dan Morphy Auctions LLC. MORPHY’S reserves the right to hold items paid for by personal or company check until said check clears (14 days). MORPHY’S has the right to hold all checks over $2,000. Customers who have an established successful buying history with MORPHY’S may be exempt from this requirement. We will accept a personal or company check >$2,000 from a first time buyer if you provide a Bank Letter of Credit, available on our website, www.morphyauctions.com. • WIRE TRANSFERS – There will be a $30 charge added to all wire transfers less than $2,000. Please add this amount to your invoice total before sending a wire transfer. In the few situations where a successful bidder does not remit payment when due, MORPHY’S will proceed with the legal steps necessary to protect its interests and will block the bidder from future auction participation.
PACKING/SHIPPING
• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping, handling, and insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items. • BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the buyer at his/her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Shipping, handling, insurance, and taxes will be added to all invoices that Morphy’s agrees to ship. We recommend you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. Shipping will be based on actual costs provided by UPS, USPS, or other carriers based upon the contents’ size and weight. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the contents and value of the shipment. Oversize and breakable items are not standard shippable items and will require shipment by a 3rd party shipper.
MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • SHIPPING TERMS - MORPHY’S will ship items to the buyer at the listed address via UPS or other carriers, FOB, Denver, Pennsylvania, or FOB other auction locations. Shipping will occur within 15 business days from the date payment is received. Any risk of loss or damage to the item(s) during transit via UPS, or any other carrier is at the risk of the buyer. Any additional insurance coverage should be purchased by the buyer through the carrier. Buyer releases MORPHY’s from all claims for loss or damage to any item during transit and agrees to pay all costs of defense, including attorney’s fees, for any claims brought against MORPHY’S for loss or damage occurring during transit. MORPHY’s is not responsible for mis-delivery or theft of packages. • INSURANCE - Shipping insurance is automatically added to invoices for shipment to the United States and Canada locations. Insurance may be waived by providing MORPHY’s a signed insurance waiver. Insurance for all 3rd party shipments must be arranged through that carrier. Insurance purchased through MORPHY’s applies only to shipments to the United States and Canada. Buyers must purchase their own insurance for shipments to other countries. • INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – MORPHY’S welcomes our international customers. MOPRHY’S can provide upon request a complete process and set of recommended company contacts with whom the Buyer can work to understand the steps, timing, and cost to acquire items at auction. It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property and for paying all shipping costs, customs and duties on the items. By law, MORPHY’S cannot, and will not, declare lesser values for any international purchases and all shipments will include the invoice with purchase totals including the buyer’s premium and shipping cost. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF OVERSIZE ITEMS – Buyers will need to either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service for oversize items. As a general guideline, the following will indicate which packages apply, as they are of a certain weight, length, or dimensional size. ∙ Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132” ∙ USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size ∙ There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE, DELICATE, FRAGILE ITEMS - MORPHY’S reserves the right to decline shipment of items based on its fragility. If an item is unable to be shipped in-house, the item will require shipment by a 3rd party or pick up arrangements to be made. MORPHY’s will not ship any items that are neon or contain neon. Other examples of fragile items include glass display cases of any size; coin-operated, arcade and vending items with fragile parts and/or glass; signs with parts or protrusions beyond the main body of the sign, oversized vases, high value lamps and glass of all sizes, high value artwork including but not limited to paintings, statuary, (continued...)
bidder
Terms & Conditions sculpture, figurines, dioramas, and other intricate items; and items subject to impact by moisture and known handling issues in the supply chain.

Pickup must be scheduled to begin and end within our normal business hours (9am – 4pm weekdays). • STORAGE FEE – MORPHY’S will charge a monthly storage fee of $50/month per regular sized item or $100/month per oversized item for any items on MORPHY’s location for more than 45 days. Buyer authorizes the MORPHY’s to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by MORPHY’s and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer.

Buyers who have not made their payment within the due date of 7 days may not return any items under any circumstances.
