Stamped clearly into the back of this 3/16 oz (4.5 g) gold-plated spoon is the patent number 2,542,606, marking its lineage back to the original 1952 design. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm), the Al's Goldfish (product code 22813) features a distinct fish-shaped silhouette with detailed scale patterns and a prominent eye stamped into the metal. This USA-made classic carries a condition rating of 4/5, showing light handling marks while maintaining a high-luster gold finish across its solid brass body. The lure comes rigged with a gold-tone treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring at the tail, while the line tie hole is located at the nose. Its inclusion in Field & Stream’s "50 Greatest Lures of All Time" list in 2006 speaks to the enduring legacy of this specific profile. The reverse side remains smooth and polished, showcasing the deeply embossed "AL'S GOLDFISH" text alongside the manufacturing details.
