Glistening with a distinct two-tone finish, one half of the spoon is finished in a bright silver chrome while the other displays a warm brass-gold hue. Finding one of these in its original packaging is a treat for the collection, as this specimen remains unused. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the Barbary Coast Spoon from Herter's is a classic example of mid-century Japanese manufacturing for the iconic outdoor catalog. A key visual highlight is the pair of deep red faceted jewels set into the metal body, designed to catch light during a steady retrieve or trolling run. It features a sturdy single hook rigged to the rear split ring, while the top is equipped with a barrel swivel for direct line connection. This specific vintage lure is identified by product code 19253.
