Museum Archive: Vintage James E. Clark Clark Spoon, 3/16oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #5685

Nickel plating gives this 5 g (3/16 oz) Clark Spoon a high-gloss reflective quality that characterizes the James E. Clark brand. Measuring 4.5 cm (1 3/4") in length, the lure features a weedless design with a single hook protected by the spoon's body and a bright red bead at the head. On the reverse side, the authentic stampings identify it as a 'SPOON-SQUID' from St. Pete, FL, specifically listed under product code 5685. The construction is robust, utilizing a simple yet effective rivet system to maintain its sleek profile. This USA-made specimen maintains a 5/5 condition rating, showing a mirror-like finish and crisp text throughout the stamping.
