Museum Archive: Vintage Johnny Walker Dr.Walker's Johnny REB, 1/2oz Green crystal fishing spoon #17987

Green crystal finishes like the one on this 1/2oz (14g) specimen provide a distinct visual profile that collectors of American-made tackle often seek out. Dr. Walker's Johnny REB, manufactured by Johnny Walker under product code 17987, showcases a classic spoon silhouette measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length. The surface features a textured, hammered pattern that catches light effectively from different angles. Equipped with a robust treble hook and split rings on both ends, the construction suggests a lure built for casting and durability. This specific piece remains in great shape, earning a 4/5 rating for its well-maintained finish and structural integrity. Originating from the USA, this lure represents the simple yet effective design philosophy of mid-century Johnny Walker tackle.
