Measuring a substantial 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this weedless spoon features a distinctive elongated diamond profile intended for navigating heavy vegetation. James E. Clark, a long-standing American manufacturer, produced this specific specimen under product code 1051. The 1/2 oz (15 g) weight is evenly distributed across a bright Nickel finish that maintains a high degree of its original luster. Looking at the hardware, a single fixed hook is integrated into the body, shielded by a slender wire weed guard riveted directly to the metal. The surface shows only light signs of age and gentle handling, which keeps the condition at a solid 4/5. A sturdy attachment ring is found at the nose, secured through a clean punch-out in the metal plate.
