Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee, 1/4oz Nickle/green fishing spoon #17031

Nickle plating covers the heavy-gauge brass body of this 1/4 oz (7 g) specimen, providing a classic reflective sheen. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this Blue Fox Pixee includes the signature vibrant green insert designed to simulate a cluster of salmon eggs. The reverse side features crisp stampings of "PIXEE PAT PEND" and "20-1/4 OZ," marking it as a notable early production piece identified by product code 17031. The hammered texture on the face is specifically crafted to catch and scatter light across the water column, a detail that veteran salmon and steelhead anglers have relied on for decades. Its condition is rated a 5/5, presenting a clean finish and well-preserved original hardware, including the split rings and a sharp treble hook. This density-focused construction is intended for long-distance casting into heavy river currents or facing coastal winds, allowing the lure to tumble into deep pockets where large game fish reside.
