Museum Archive: Prescott Spinner Doctor Spoon, 1/4oz Hammered Brass fishing spoon #22044

Hammered Brass texturing covers the 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) body of this vintage casting lure, reflecting the traditional manufacturing style of the Prescott Spinner Co. This specimen, identified by product code 22044, remains in unused condition within its original "2 in 1 Spoon" retail packaging. Weighing 1/4 oz (7g), the metal is clean and bright, featuring the dimpled surface designed to create light flashes in the water. The dual-attachment design allows for the treble hook to be switched between the large or narrow end to adjust the presentation for species like Walleye, Pike, or Salmon. Produced in the USA, specifically from the Frankfort, IL facility under Yellow Bird Products, the lure represents a lineage of spoons that gained popularity starting in the early 20th century. The original blue backing card is mostly intact, effectively protecting the un-fished hardware and original silver-tone treble hook.
