Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Big Doctor 285, 1oz Nickel / Gold / Red dots fishing spoon #1177

Weighing in at 1oz (30g), this Big Doctor 285 spoon is a prime example of the heavy-duty tackle Prescott Spinner produced in the USA. The 4 1/4" (11cm) frame carries a dual-finish design, featuring a mirrored nickel front and a warm gold-tone reverse side. Four small red dots are neatly applied near the head of the lure, providing a splash of color against the polished metal. Cataloged under product code 1177, the lure remains in 5/5 condition, with both the plating and the single trailing hook showing no signs of use. The construction relies on strong split rings to connect the hardware to the stamped metal body, a hallmark of lures intended for both casting and trolling scenarios.
