Museum Archive: Vintage Aeroplane Spinner Aero, 1/4oz Copper fishing spoon #11796

A warm copper finish defines this classic American spoon, reflecting light with the soft glow typical of vintage metal lures. Produced by the Aeroplane Spinner company in the USA, this Aero model (Product Code: 11796) represents a period of straightforward, effective tackle design. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.7 cm) in length, its teardrop profile is stamped with a subtle curve to interact with water resistance. The specimen is unused and remains in 5/5 condition, showing a clean surface free from wear. It features a silver-tone split ring and a sharp treble hook, which contrast well against the rich, reddish-gold tone of the copper body.
