Clarence E. Zahn lure mentor and close friend swapped this material to Mr. Clyde Harbin.  Mr. Zahn visited the Arbogast factory in July of 1981 during a NFLCC swap meet that was held in Akron, Ohio.  Clarence Zahn met with Arbogast President, Dick Kotis and received this signed copy of "The First Fifty Years and 1982 Arbogast Catalog".

 The Big Tin Liz

 

Mr. Clyde A. Harbin Sr. acquired this Arbogast Big Tin Liz in the box March 7, 2003.  The Big Tin Liz came in the correct box without the "Tail Fin".  It has the original red paint on the line tie (unusual flat style) and the same paint on the hook.  There was no signs of tail fin travel and no evidence this bait was ever fished with a tail fin.
