Museum Archive: Vintage Herter's Canadian Spoon, 1/3oz fishing spoon #17900

Stamped clearly into the metal, the "JAPAN" mark identifies the manufacturing roots of this 1/3oz (10g) silver spoon. This specific Herter's Canadian Spoon, cataloged under Product Code 17900, measures exactly 2 1/4" (6cm) in length and features a classic tear-drop profile. A standout characteristic of this design is the trio of faceted red beads embedded near the line tie, which serve to catch light and provide a focal point. The polished chrome finish is exceptionally well-preserved, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. On the concave side, the stamping "HERTER'S BLR" remains crisp and deep. The lure is rigged with a robust treble hook that includes a distinct brass-colored sleeve around the shank.
