Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Tiny Torpedo , 1/4oz fishing lure #15463

Scripted "Torpedo" branding along the flank immediately identifies this 2" (5cm) specimen as a classic in North American lure design. Weighing 1/4oz (7g), the body displays a traditional frog pattern featuring dark, organic leopard spots over a yellowish-green base that fades into a pale cream belly. This Heddon Tiny Torpedo, carrying Product Code 15463, remains in excellent shape, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Its hardware configuration includes two sharp treble hooks and a signature rear-mounted metal propeller designed for surface agitation. Anglers often fish this model by buzzing it across the surface or using a stop-and-go retrieve to engage the tail prop. The nose-mounted eyelet is securely seated, and the overall finish remains vibrant and well-preserved.
