Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Baby Bat, 1/2oz Black / Red fishing spoon #5456

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the lure features a compact 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) body that demonstrates the unique engineering of the Prescott Spinner Company. The black enameled surface is struck by a broad, holographic magenta-pink band, which provides a high-contrast reflective element against the dark base. On the interior of the wing-like structure, the "Baby" name is embossed directly into the metal, identifying this as the Baby Bat model under product code 5456. The hardware is comprised of a stout double hook attached to a wire loop, a design intended for durability while maintaining a secure hold. Produced in the USA, this specimen maintains a 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and a clean holographic application with only slight age-related character appearing on the hook shank and along the metal edges.
