Weighing in at a substantial 2 oz (60 g), this Japanese-made casting spoon features a distinctive dual-finish pattern that is instantly recognizable to collectors of vintage Herter’s gear. The blade is split longitudinally, with one half showing a bright silver reflective surface and the other finished in a crisp white paint detailed with four vibrant red diagonal accents. A textured, hammered-style ripple runs along the outer edge of the silver side, designed to catch light from various angles. At the tail, a small red plastic flicker fin is mounted alongside a sharp, silver-finished treble hook, adding a secondary point of visual interest. Bearing the product code 21142, the spoon remains in 4/5 condition, showing the light, honest character of a well-maintained vintage find while retaining its original luster. The stamp on the inner concave surface confirms its production for Herter’s in Japan, a detail often sought by those mapping the global history of the brand's manufacturing partners.
