I know that many years ago I bought a needle from Habs, I don't believe I ever used it.

We're getting ready to finish our basement, so I promised the boss to clean out and better organize all my gear. I came across this lure. my recollection is that this is the color needle I bought from Habs.

The photos are bad, the lure is a brilliant black/purple. There's some kind of stamp on the bottom that I can't make out.

Anyone know if this is a Habs?

If so, if anyone here would use this lure, especially if they knew Habs and it would have some sentimental value, I'd be happy to send it to you. If it's a Habs, it should belong to someone who will use it and appreciate it. I'm getting back into boat fishing and don't have much need for this, if it's a Habs I'm guessing someone else will want it a lot more than I do.
