1907 vs 1908 Heddon Fishing Minnows
by Dr. Michael Echols
The cups on a 1908 Heddon 150 or 100, which would be found in a wood box, are raised on the front part of the cup rim to divert the hook away from the body. The earlier 1906-7 cup, which would also be found in a wood box, is flat rimmed and not raised. The 1908 nose is blunt and the 1906-7 nose is longer and more pointed. (photos courtesy of Barry Piper)
1906 has nickel hardware instead of brass like the 1905
1907 first version with blunt nose, except it's a little narrower and longer
