Museum Archive: Vintage Gibbs Ruby Eye Wiggler, 1oz gold/blue eyes fishing spoon #21745

Two faceted blue beads, securely wired into the gold-finished brass body, serve as the defining visual feature of this 1oz (25g) Gibbs Ruby Eye Wiggler. Carrying the Product Code 21745, this specimen measures 3" (7.5cm) in length and shows the classic 'GIBBS RUBY EYE WIGGLER 3' stamping clearly on the convex side. The gold-tone finish remains bright, complementing the deep blue of the eyes that collectors prioritize in these specific variations. It comes rigged with its original, robust treble hook and a front barrel swivel, built for trolling or heavy casting. This particular lure is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing a clean surface and well-preserved hardware that highlights the craftsmanship of the period. The mounting wire for the beads is neatly tucked, a hallmark of the assembly quality found in the original USA-made Gibbs production line.
