Museum Archive: Vintage James E. Clark Clark Spoon , 2/5oz nickel fishing spoon #18895

Polished to a high-reflectivity mirror finish, the nickel plating on this 3" (7.5 cm) Clark Spoon represents the standard of James E. Clark's American-made craftsmanship. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), the stamped metal body features a distinct angular keel designed for stability during casting or trolling. This specific example, identified by product code 18895, showcases a vibrant orange bead at the line tie, providing a small but vital point of visual contrast against the silver body. Its condition is rated 5/5, with the integrated single hook remaining sharp and properly aligned with the lure’s profile for weedless performance. The simplicity of the construction, from the sturdy metal eyelet to the sleek tapered tail, highlights the functional beauty of this vintage piece.
