Museum Archive: Vintage Other Doctor spoon, 3/5oz Gold / Nickel fishing spoon #8515

Stamped into the metal with the "DOCTOR" brand name and "USA" origin, this 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) spoon showcases a high-contrast two-tone finish. One side features a reflective nickel plating, while the reverse is finished in a polished gold, providing different flash profiles depending on the angle of light. Weighing 3/5 oz (17 g), the solid metal construction makes it a substantial choice for both casting and trolling applications. The hardware is comprised of a barrel swivel at the head to manage line twist and a strong treble hook attached via a split ring at the rear. Regarding the condition, it remains in excellent 5/5 state, with the surfaces retaining their original luster and the stampings remaining sharp and legible. This specific model, identified by product code 8515, represents a classic design used by generations of anglers to target larger freshwater predators.
