Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Suspending Spot Excallibur, 2/5oz fishing lure #16318

A chrome-finished body with a vibrant blue back highlights the classic profile of this American-made lipless crankbait. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) and weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the specimen features the distinctive Cordell script stamped clearly on the silver flank. This model is the Suspending Spot Excallibur, carrying the product code 16318. The aesthetic transitions from a saturated blue top through a delicate hexagonal scale pattern into a bright silver mirror finish, with a touch of orange visible along the belly line. On the hardware side, it retains two dark-finished treble hooks. The condition is rated at 4/5, reflecting a clean exterior with bright, reflective eyes and crisp paint edges. As a suspending type, this lure is engineered to maintain its position in the water column when the line tension is slackened.
