Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon, 3/4oz Hammered Gold / Orange fishing spoon #2452

Hammered gold and vibrant orange finishes create a striking visual contrast on the face of this specimen, cataloged as product code 2452. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g) and measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the lure features a deeply dimpled texture designed to catch and reflect light across its surface. The reverse side reveals a smooth, polished gold finish clearly stamped with "AQUA SPOON MADE IN USA," highlighting its Nebco manufacturing heritage. This piece remains in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean luster on the metal and well-preserved paint on the outer edges. A heavy-duty treble hook is securely attached via a sturdy brass split ring at the tail, while the nose is pre-drilled for a direct line tie. Designed for traditional casting or trolling, the spoon’s teardrop shape and substantial weight provide the density needed for distance and depth management in open water.
