Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon King Stanley, 3/4oz nickel/red fishing spoon #19842

Stamped clearly on the spoon-style body with the 'Heddon KING STANLEY' name, this 3/4oz (21g) lure is a classic example of mid-century American spinnerbait engineering. The nickel-plated metal reflects light along its 2 3/4" (7cm) frame, which is rigged with a wire arm carrying a secondary polished blade. A vibrant red feather tail is fastened securely with an eyelet and screw, providing a sharp contrast to the bright metallic finish. Carrying the product code 19842, the specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing the clean, honest character of a well-preserved collector's item. The construction utilizes a sturdy wire frame that connects the main weighted spoon body to the upper spinner component, a layout designed for casting. This Heddon King Stanley was manufactured in the USA and retains its original hardware and rear-mounted hook hidden within the red plumage.
