Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #15973

A hammered gold finish provides a classic visual texture on this 1/4oz (7g) heavy-gauge brass body. The 2" (5cm) profile of the Blue Fox Pixee is instantly recognizable by the signature orange simulated salmon egg insert centered within the metal spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse side are the Blue Fox branding and the Pixee name, alongside the "Pat. Pend" mark, signifying its historical place in the lineage of National Expert Bait (Nebco) lures. This specific specimen, carrying Product Code 15973, features a vibrant red treble hook that remains sharp and matches the warm tones of the gold plating. Rated at a condition 5/5, the metal surfaces are bright and the plastic insert remains securely seated with no fading. While designed for long-distance casting in coastal winds or heavy river currents, its density also allows it to reach depths where it can be fished into deep pockets and holes. The dual-sided construction—hammered on the face to catch light and smooth on the back—makes it a versatile choice for anglers targeting salmon, trout, or even saltwater species.
