Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g), the solid brass construction of this classic spoon reflects light with a deep gold finish. This 2" (5cm) specimen features the distinct fish-profile shape that first hit the market in 1952 and became a staple in American tackle boxes. On the reverse side, the stamped text "AL'S GOLDFISH PAT 2,542,606" confirms its heritage and United States origin. The front is detailed with stamped scales, a gill plate, and a small eye, design elements that helped secure its place on Field & Stream's 2006 list of the 50 best lures of all time. Listed under product code 7208, the lure remains in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean surface throughout. The hardware includes a sturdy brass split ring and a bronzed treble hook, showing the natural darkening common in vintage components while remaining structurally sound. A single precision-drilled hole at the nose provides the attachment point for a snap or leader.
