Here's a quick look at most of the models of glass eyed Vamps which were offered by Heddon. Each of the models was made with some variations, such as hook hardware, eye size, etc. Some like the 7500 is found with many different configurations.

Series 7600 Musky Vamp - 8" 1925 - 1929

Series 7530 Jointed Musky Vamp 1934 - 1950s

Series 7550 Musky Vamp 1928 - 19??

Series 7300 Jointed Vamp 1928 - Plant Closing

Series 7500 Roundnose Vamp 1920

Series 7500 Vamp & Vampire 1921 - Plant Closing

Series 7400 Baby Vamp 1925 - 1943

The cataloged colors are presented in numerical and alphabetical sequence on three pages. Then four pages are presented with the rare "special order" colors which were never cataloged for a 7500 Vamp.
There is no attempt here to describe the chronology of different hardware, body styles and configurations. Several good web sites already do that.

I am going out on a limb to make evaluations of how common or rare the colors are by putting a little color bar with each Vamp example. The bars go from very common to very, very rare in six steps as defined at right. A word of caution to new collectors. These evaluations as to how rare a color is only pertain to Vamps. A given color may be very rare on a Vamp but very common on other Heddon lures. For example the GCB color is about the most common color on several Heddon Lures like the 150 and crab wiggler but pretty rare on a Vamp. Conversly, Pike scale is the most common Vamp color but almost impossible on a Crab Wiggler.

Very Common     Common     Medium Common/Rare     Rare     Very Rare     Very Very Rare

This rare combination belongs to Bill Roberts. There are only 5 or 6 of these Bar Perch color Vamps around. I don't know of any other correctly marked box.
