Museum Archive: Vintage Harrison Industries Baby Bat 3505, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #3505

Measuring a diminutive 0 3/4" (2cm) in length, this compact lure is a testament to mid-century American tackle design. This nickel-finished specimen, identified by product code 3505, weighs in at 3/16oz (5g) and was produced in the USA by Harrison Industries. The distinctive bat-wing profile is constructed from a single piece of shaped metal, with the name "Baby Bat" clearly stamped into the underside of the wings. It maintains a very clean appearance, rated 5/5 for its preserved metallic luster and lack of surface wear. A robust double hook is attached to the rear through a integrated wire loop, a standard configuration for these specialized topwater or sub-surface metal lures. The central keel provides structural rigidity, leading up to a small line tie located at the apex of the forward arch.
