Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Tiny Torpedo, 1/4oz Nickel fishing lure #15762

Glistening with a classic Nickel scale pattern, the body of this 2" (5 cm) surface bait shows the craftsmanship expected from vintage Heddon production. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure is equipped with a signature rear propeller designed to churn the water's surface upon retrieval. The black-painted head features large, pale eyes that provide a high-contrast target against the metallic finish, complemented by a subtle red throat accent. Stamped clearly on the belly, the 'Heddon Tiny Torpedo' branding identifies this as product code 15762. Both original treble hooks remain securely attached via traditional hardware rigs, one mid-body and one at the tail. This specific example is rated 5/5, appearing exceptionally well-preserved with smooth paint and bright metal surfaces throughout the torpedo-shaped profile. The nickel finish reflects light brilliantly, a characteristic often sought after for visibility during topwater sessions.
