A striking red head contrasts sharply against the cream-white body of this 1/4 oz (7 g) Heddon River Runt Tiny Floating, a pattern that has secured its status as an American tackle icon since the model's debut in 1935. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), this specimen, identified by product code 8751, showcases the classic painted eyes featuring distinct yellow rings and black pupils. The hardware is comprised of a signature metal diving lip and two sets of sharp treble hooks, one positioned at the belly and another at the tail. The condition of the finish is exceptional, earning a 5/5 rating for its vibrant colors and structural integrity. Originating from the USA, the lure's construction reflects the robust craftsmanship expected from a vintage Heddon piece, with the metal lip attachment remaining firm and unblemished. Collectors will appreciate the preservation of the paint, particularly the smooth transition between the bold red face and the pearlescent white body.
