Museum Archive: Vintage James E. Clark Clark Spoon, 1/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #0467

Weighing in at 1/4oz (8g), this American-made classic from James E. Clark showcases a specialized weedless construction intended for fishing through heavy cover. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the lure features a sharp diamond-shaped profile stamped from reflective nickel-plated metal. A distinctive red bead is positioned at the line tie, providing a subtle focal point against the bright silver finish. Labeled with product code 0467, this Clark Spoon integrates the single hook directly into the trailing edge of the body's structure to minimize snagging. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, retaining its original luster and clean metal surfaces. Originating from the USA, the design reflects the straightforward, effective manufacturing that has made these spoons a staple in coastal tackle boxes for decades.
