Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon King Stanley, 3/4oz nickel/red fishing spoon #21122

Nickel plating provides a classic reflective surface on this 2 3/4" (7 cm) Heddon King Stanley, a rare specimen categorized under product code 21122. The 3/4 oz (21 g) weight gives this metal lure substantial heft for long-range casting, featuring a primary spoon-shaped body paired with a red-feathered trailer. Integrated into the design is an overhead wire arm holding a secondary spinner blade, a hallmark of the King Stanley's unique weedless profile. The stamped nickel finish shows light wear from its time in the water, holding a 4/5 condition rating. A single large hook is positioned behind the spoon's body to minimize snags when working through vegetation. This USA-made rarity maintains its structural integrity, with the red dressing on the tail remaining well-secured to the hook shank. The articulation between the body and the wire arm remains firm, preserving the original alignment of the multi-blade configuration.
