Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Baby Bat, 1/2oz Black fishing spoon #5495

Measuring a compact 1 1/2 inches (3.5 cm), the unique wing-like stamped metal construction of this specimen reflects a fascinating era of American lure design. This Prescott Spinner Baby Bat, identified by product code 5495, features a solid black finish across its distinctive folded body. Collectors will appreciate the "Baby" script clearly embossed on the interior surfaces of the metal. At 1/2 oz (14 g), it carries significant weight for its small profile, suited for traditional casting techniques. The hardware includes a large, silver-toned double hook secured through the rear of the body. Originating from the USA, the lure maintains its structural integrity with a 4/5 condition rating, showing honest surface wear and light oxidation on the black finish that speaks to its history.
