Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon, 3/5oz Hammered Copper / Red fishing spoon #12692

Hammered copper textures the surface of this American-made metal lure, catching light through its dimpled finish across the 3" (7.5 cm) body. Labeled with the Product Code 12692, the Nebco Aqua Spoon features a distinct Hammered Copper / Red color scheme, where the red pigment is applied in bold diagonal sections along the spoon’s convex face. On the reverse side, the stamped lettering remains clearly legible, identifying both the manufacturer and the model name of this 3/5 oz (17 g) casting piece. The hardware consists of a top split ring for line attachment and a large treble hook secured to the base. This vintage specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and clean metal surfaces. It stands as a functional example of USA-manufactured tackle intended for casting and trolling applications.
