Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Glen L Evans​ Sunbeam, 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #5762

Gold plating gleams across the teardrop-shaped body of this 1960s American classic. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the specimen 5762 reflects the high manufacturing standards of the Glen L. Evans company out of Caldwell, Idaho. The reverse side features a deep, legible stamp detailing the manufacturer and the "SUNBEAM" model name. Many collectors consider this specific design the functional forefather of the contemporary Wob-L-Rite. The hardware remains robust, featuring a top-mounted barrel swivel and a tail-end treble hook. Rated in 5/5 condition, the polished gold surface is remarkably clean for a lure of this age. Its compact, dense form is designed for effective casting distance and depth control during a retrieve.
