Museum Archive: Herter's Crystal, 3/16oz Crystal fishing spoon #10953

Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the Japanese-made Herter's Crystal utilizes a multifaceted hammered surface to create a shimmering visual presence. Listed as product code 10953, the lure measures 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length and retains the bright, clean finish characteristic of an unused specimen. The spoon’s design, often associated with casting for trout or panfish, relies on its metallic facets to reflect light from every angle. It remains attached to its original 'Herter's' card, which displays the iconic company crest and vintage typography. The hardware consists of a single silver-tone treble hook linked by a sturdy split ring, both of which show no signs of age or wear. Since it is rated as condition 6, the lure is unused and presents just as it did when it left the factory decades ago.
