Museum Archive: Vintage EGB Swiss made, 1/2oz Silver / Gold / Red / Brown fishing spoon #8881

Hammer marks visible across the surface tell the story of the artisan process used by EGB in Switzerland to create this 1/2oz (14g) spoon. Stamped clearly on the brass backside, the manufacturer's mark and 'SWISS MADE' signify the quality of this silver-plated lure. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm), the front displays a unique pattern of diagonal brown and gold stripes set against a hammered silver background, punctuated by five vibrant red dots. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 8881, features a classic red heart-shaped plastic trailer attached to the treble hook's split ring, intended for casting or trolling. The treble hook itself remains sharp with a distinctive brass-colored shank. Rated at 5/5, the lure shows an exceptionally clean finish without wear to the silver plating or the painted details. Collectors will appreciate the manual craftsmanship evident in the slightly irregular dimpling that ensures no two of these brass-core lures are exactly alike.
