Two distinct red glass eyes are handset into the polished metal body, giving this Gibbs spoon its namesake 'Ruby Eye' look. This specific specimen, identified by product code 20824, features a substantial 1oz (28g) weight intended for deep-water trolling or heavy casting. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, the lure showcases a dual-tone gold and nickel finish that highlights the stamped lettering on the concave side. These Canadian-made lures were produced by Gibbs until 1970, and this model '3' remains a significant piece of Pacific Northwest angling history. The hardware is comprised of a large treble hook and a front-mounted swivel, both showing careful preservation. Rated at 4/5, the metal surface remains bright and the red inserts are securely seated, reflecting the durable craftsmanship typical of mid-century tackle production.
