Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon, 3/4oz Red / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #2459

Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the distinctive elongated profile of this specimen stands out with its vibrant red face and contrasting black polka dots. Cataloged as product code 2459, the spoon features a polished nickel reverse side where the 'AQUA SPOON' and 'MADE IN USA' stamps are clearly visible in the metal. The 3/4 oz (21 g) weight suggests a lure built for significant casting distance or maintaining depth while trolling for pike or large trout. Regarding the physical state, the piece shows minimal evidence of previous time on the water, earning a condition rating of 4/5. The original treble hook is attached via a heavy-duty split ring, and the paint retains much of its original luster against the nickel-plated base.
