Six circular perforations ringed in red paint punctuate the yellow enamel front of this spoon, a signature visual trait of the J. Rustowicz design. The reverse side reveals a polished nickel finish clearly stamped with '© 1967 J. RUSTOWICZ' and 'CHARGER', confirming its heritage as product code 19439. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length and weighing 2/5 oz (12.5 g), this lure represents the original American-made craftsmanship before the brand was later produced by Lake Products. The condition is rated 4/5, with the enamel and nickel plating showing only slight indications of age. A single bronze-finished treble hook is secured to the trailing end by a sturdy split ring, ready for casting or trolling applications.
