Museum Archive: Vintage Worth Chippewa Steel Spoon, 3/5oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #11082

Nickel-plated on its convex side, this classic American spoon showcases the iconic red and white stripe pattern that defined a generation of mid-century angling. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 3/5 oz (17 g), the Worth Chippewa Steel Spoon (Product Code: 11082) stands as a testament to the durable, budget-friendly lures manufactured in the USA during the latter half of the 20th century. The steel construction provides significant heft for casting, while the simple stamped design helped it become a staple in North American tackle boxes. This specimen carries a 4/5 condition rating, showing honest surface wear and minor scuffs on the painted face that reflect its journey from the factory. A sturdy treble hook is secured by a split ring at the tail, and the single line-tie hole remains clean at the head.
