Vintage Herter's Glass Eye Spoon, 3/4oz nickel/red eyes fishing spoon #23575

Two faceted red glass beads are firmly mounted into the body of this 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon, providing a unique refractive element to the lure's profile. Carrying product code 23575, this 3" (7.5 cm) Herter's Glass Eye Spoon hails from an era when the company sourced high-quality hardware from Japanese craftsmen. The metallic finish, though documented as nickel/red eyes, presents a warm, polished luster that contrasts beautifully with the translucent red inserts. These glass 'eyes' are held in place by delicate wire retainers visible on the spoon’s surface, a design intended to catch light from multiple angles. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original shine and featuring a stout silver-tone treble hook. A simple split ring at the head serves as the primary connection point for casting or trolling setups.
