Herter's India Mahseer Spoon, Nickel, 1/2 oz (14 g), Beads, #24807

Stamped clearly into the solid brass back is the signature maker's mark, distinguishing this nickel-plated treasure as a classic Herter's India Mahseer, cataloged under Product Code 24807. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the lure features a highly reflective nickel finish over solid brass. Its design incorporates small metal flapper blades fitted with red plastic tags on the sides and tail to catch the light and add visual contrast. Near the head, a wire harness holds two bright red beads, providing a focal point for curious fish. This specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean, bright metallic surface. Manufactured in Japan, it stands as a fine example of mid-century metal lure craftsmanship.
