Museum Archive: Herter's Canadian Spoon (Japan), 1/3oz fishing spoon #22134

Three distinct red translucent beads are embedded in the tail end of this 2" (5.08 cm) metal slab. Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the "RELIANCE REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. MADE IN JAPAN" mark, identifying its manufacture for the American export market. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9.45 g), the Herter's Canadian Spoon features a bright chrome finish designed for casting or trolling. The original packaging includes a vintage "HERTER'S MITCHELL" paper label, confirming its place in the catalog of the legendary Minnesota distributor. This specific item, identified by product code 22134, is in unused condition (5/5). The heavy-duty split rings and sharp treble hook show no signs of water time or storage wear. Its teardrop shape is a classic design intended for high-visibility presentation in clear water.
