Vintage Other Al Wilson Wilson's Fluted Wobbler, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #24423

Stamped with the historical patent date of April 15, 1902, this San Francisco-made spoon is a refined example of early 20th-century West Coast tackle craftsmanship. Weighing a light 1/8 oz (4 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the nickel-plated surface remains bright and clear. Collectors will appreciate the distinct construction of this rarity, cataloged under product code 24423, which features a single large hook secured directly through the metal body with a robust wire loop. The front end is equipped with a classic brass-toned barrel swivel, a characteristic hardware choice for the Al Wilson Tackle Fishing Lures company during their California production years. Rated at a 5/5, the specimen shows remarkable preservation, with the stamped text identifying the maker and patent date still sharp and legible. The design focuses on a teardrop shape with a subtle curvature, and the hook point sits in a fixed position relative to the spoon's metal plate.
