Museum Archive: Vintage Dominion 53, 3/4oz fishing spoon #21308

Measuring exactly 3" (7.5cm) in length, the polished silver surface of this Canadian-made spoon provides high visibility in various water conditions. The Dominion 53 features a distinct design element in the form of two translucent red glass beads, which are secured to the body with metal tabs to serve as visual trigger points. Stamped clearly into the metal is the manufacturer's name along with the model number, identifying this specimen as part of the lineage assigned product code 21308. The lure's weight of 3/4oz (21g) makes it a substantial choice for both casting and trolling applications where depth and distance are required. It arrives with original hardware, including a robust treble hook and a brass barrel swivel intended to minimize line twist during retrieval. The overall finish is well-maintained, showing a bright reflection and minimal signs of age, supporting a condition rating of 4/5. This specific model illustrates the straightforward, functional craftsmanship common in vintage North American tackle production.
