IS IT NEW OR OLD?

This portion was made help identify and to show the differences between newer Heddon Torpedo and older Heddon Torpedo lures. (NEWER Pradco era 1984 - present) & (Pre-Pradco era 1952 - 1983 Heddon Tiny Torpedo and Heddon Baby Torpedo 1969 - 1983). Not always can you use the eye color "Gold" to tell the differences. Here is what I have found to be the easiest way to tell. On the Heddon Tiny Torpedoes the earlier ones have a seam in the middle of the lure caused by the way the lure was "molded". As if the lure had two sections the head and the tail. On some of the lures is hard to tell especially the naturals, but if you run your finger nail you should feel it. The newer ones lack the mid-section mold seam. On Heddon Baby Torpedoes the seam runs down the spine. As if the lure was sliced down its' back. The newer ones lack the spine mold made seam. Another thing to look for on Baby Torpedo lures is the placing of the stencil (Lettering). On the earlier ones it's very close to the belly hook hole, on the newer ones it's a bit further back towards the tail. I have included some pictures of lures from my collection to help visualize what to look for. Some collectors (like myself) could careless if the lures is new or old. Others just like the earlier Pre-Pradco Heddon Torpedo lures. The way I see it is, if I'm missing the color or variation, I'll try to add it to my collection.

"XBL" BLUE SHORE MINNOW EARLY (BOTTOM) & "SD" SHAD (TOP) PRADCO ERA.

"XRYBB" is the older lure on left side (HEDDON SALESMAN'S SAMPLE) and the newer PRADCO era (JAPANESE SPECIAL ORDER COLOR) on the right side. Notice the difference in stencil placing and the lack of the seam down the spine. The lettering on the Pradco lure sit further back from the belly hook hole.
