Museum Archive: Vintage James Aitken Haver, 1/2oz Gold fishing spoon #17420

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this gold spoon carries a significant legacy from the early 1930s. Stamped clearly with the "HAVER" name on its inner face, this 1/2 oz (14 g) specimen represents the design work of Percy Haver, originally developed between 1932 and 1933. The James Aitken Haver, identified by product code 17420, features a classic teardrop profile with a polished gold finish that remains bright across the entire surface. Its construction includes a sturdy split ring at the nose and a bronzed treble hook attached at the rear. Manufactured in the USA, the lure is in 5/5 condition, showing clean hardware and a preserved finish. The metal body is precisely shaped with a deep concavity intended for casting and trolling applications.
