Museum Archive: Vintage Gibbs One Eye Wiggler, 1 1/4oz Bronze (Brass) / Blue fishing spoon #10169

Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the broad profile of this teardrop spoon is characteristic of mid-century American metalwork. This specific Gibbs One Eye Wiggler, often referred to as a Ruby Eye variant in historical catalogs, was produced in the USA before 1970. The bronze brass body provides a natural, subdued flash, complemented by two distinctive blue faceted beads secured with wire staples. These beads serve as the lure's "eyes," designed to catch light in a way that differs from standard painted finishes. At 1 1/4 oz (35g), the weight makes it a formidable choice for casting or deep-water trolling. The metal surface remains clean and well-preserved, showing the quality of the original manufacturing. A robust treble hook is attached via a heavy-duty split ring, ready for heavy freshwater or coastal saltwater use. Bearing product code 10169, this specimen is in exceptional 5/5 condition, representing a well-maintained piece of vintage angling history.
