Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Baby Bat, 1/2oz Black fishing spoon #5409

Finished in a deep, solid Black, this vintage metal casting lure offers a unique silhouette that stands out in any classic tackle collection. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and weighing a substantial 1/2 oz (14 g), the Baby Bat showcases the distinct "bat-wing" metalwork characteristic of the USA-based manufacturer, Prescott Spinner. The hardware is comprised of a prominent silver-toned double hook attached via a sturdy split ring, intended for casting techniques. Upon closer inspection of the metal wings, the original "Bat" and "3B" stampings remain crisp and legible, identifying this specimen as product code 5409. This particular lure is exceptionally well-preserved, maintaining a clean surface throughout with a condition rating of 5/5.
