Museum Archive: Vintage Old Pal Woodstream Auto-cast, 1/8oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #3186

Nickel and blue finishes define this compact 1 1/2" (3.5cm) spoon, a classic example of American craftsmanship from Old Pal Woodstream. Stamped clearly on the reflective metal face is the "AUTO-CAST" name along with "PAT NO. 2,754,008," "VOL. 7," and "USA" identifiers. Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g), the lure's construction includes a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring at the rear and a matching split ring at the nose for line attachment. The blue paint on the reverse side shows character, earning this piece a 4/5 condition rating. Collectors will appreciate the deep-stamped lettering and the transition from the polished nickel to the vibrant blue coating. Product code 3186 represents a time when Woodstream, known for their tackle boxes, applied their engineering to small casting spoons.
