Museum Archive: Vintage AL&W Tackle AL&W Toronto, 3/4oz fishing spoon #21960

Two translucent red glass beads are hand-wired through the silver-plated body of this classic Canadian spoon, providing a unique visual trigger. Originating from AL&W Tackle in Canada, this AL&W Toronto model carries the manufacturer's hallmark stamped clearly into the metal near the eyelets. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and weighing 3/4oz (21g), the lure is built for casting and trolling applications where its teardrop profile can perform. The hardware remains functional, featuring a sturdy barrel swivel at the line tie and a sharp treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. This specific specimen, identified by product code 21960, shows a well-preserved finish that earns a condition rating of 4/5. You can see the craftsmanship in how the red "eyes" are securely fastened, a signature element of this Toronto-made lure. The concave interior surface reflects light effectively, while the exterior shows the characteristic smooth lines of vintage Canadian metalwork.
