Museum Archive: Vintage AL&W Tackle "AL&W Toronto", 3/8oz Copper / Nickel fishing spoon #2167

Copper and nickel finishes come together on this 2 1/2" (6.5cm) spoon, a design that has been a mainstay in Canadian tackle boxes for decades. Produced by AL&W Tackle in Toronto, the specimen identified by product code 2167 features a warm copper face stamped with the maker's mark and a bright, reflective nickel-plated reverse. At 3/8oz (10.5g), the weight is well-suited for casting or trolling in various conditions. The spoon is equipped with a stout treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, designed for long-term durability. Its condition is exceptionally well-preserved, deserving a solid 5/5 rating for its bright metal surfaces and clear engravings. The tapered teardrop shape is characteristic of the "Toronto" style spoon, a hallmark of Allcock, Laight & Westwood’s legacy in Canadian sporting goods.
