Museum Archive: Herter's Crystal, 3/16oz Crystal fishing spoon #6199

Hammered textures define the surface of this small spoon, creating the signature faceted look that gave the model its name. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the blade's surface is finished in the distinctive Crystal color, intended to catch and scatter light across its many dimpled faces. This specimen, carrying product code 6199, represents the high-quality utility associated with Herter’s output from Waseca, Minnesota. At a weight of 3/16 oz (6 g), it remains mounted on its original retail card, which still displays the iconic Herter’s crest. The lure is unused, retaining its full factory luster on both the metallic body and the original treble hook.
