Museum Archive: Vintage James E. Clark Clark Spoon, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #10295

Stretching 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the high-polish nickel finish of this genuine Clark Spoon highlights a classic design that has been a staple in American coastal tackle boxes for decades. A single hook is secured with a distinctive screw-fastener, a hallmark of the James E. Clark weedless construction, allowing for effective fishing through grass beds or structures. The nose is adorned with a bright red egg-shaped bead, providing a sharp visual contrast against the mirror-like 1/2 oz (15 g) metal body. Clearly stamped on the surface is the "JAMES E. CLARK SPOON" marking, verifying its authenticity as an original USA-made piece under product code 10295. This specimen maintains a 5/5 rating, appearing as an unused example that retains its factory-fresh luster. From the bright nickel plating to the secure attachment of the heavy-duty hardware, the lure remains in collector-grade state.
