Vintage Herter's Glass Eye Spoon, 2oz nickel/red eyes fishing spoon #24036

Measuring a substantial 4 3/4" (12cm) in length, this casting spoon exemplifies the rugged tackle Herter's imported from Japan during the mid-century. The nickel finish remains bright across the teardrop-shaped body, reflecting a 5/5 condition with minimal surface marks. A defining characteristic of the 24036 is the pair of faceted red glass eyes securely wired through the metal to provide a flash of color against the chrome-like surface. At 2 oz (60g), this specimen possesses the density needed for deep-water fishing or reaching distance in heavy winds. The hardware consists of a heavy-duty treble hook mounted at the tail, while the overall construction reflects the durability that collectors expect from these vintage rarities. Stamped on the reverse is the country of origin, a testament to the high-quality Japanese manufacturing of the era.
