Museum Archive: Dick Nite Spoons Dick Nite #2, 1/16oz Gold fishing spoon #8019

Gold plating on a 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) teardrop-shaped body characterizes this particular specimen of the Dick Nite #2. Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (1.7 g), the spoon is a traditional choice for light-tackle techniques like trolling or casting in fresh water. This specific lure is unused, still mounted to its original blue retail cardstock. Produced by Dick Nite Spoons in Lynnwood, Washington, the packaging for product code 8019 provides a glimpse into the brand's Pacific Northwest heritage, listing their address and zip code 98036. The hardware consists of a small brass swivel at the head and a single hook at the tail, both typical of the factory-original configuration. The uniform gold finish across the metal surface reflects the manufacturing standards maintained by the brand during its USA-based production runs.
