Heddon "Head-On" Basser 8509M Pike Color with Down Leaping Bass Box.  Hard to find vintage bait and box here. Lure is about 4 1/4" long. Used with wear as shown but still overall in ok condition. Box has some wear as well but overall ok condition.  While not perfect, it's a tough matching combo to find.  The lip metal hardware is marked Head-On Basser.  That combined with the Downleaping Bass box dates this to most likely 1924.  See photos. Grab this one for your collection.
