Museum Archive: Vintage Herter's Mooselake Wobbler, 2/5oz nickel fishing spoon #18830

Stamped clearly with the HERTER'S MOOSELAKE WOBBLER mark, this specimen showcases the classic metalwork associated with the iconic American outfitter's mid-century imports. The nickel finish remains bright and highly reflective across its sleek, fish-shaped body, which terminates in a distinctively flared tail fin. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure is balanced for versatile use in both casting and trolling applications. This particular piece, identified by product code 18830, was manufactured in Japan and features crisp, legible stamping on its concave side. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook attached via a rear eyelet, and the head is finished with a simple, clean attachment point for a leader or snap. Its condition is rated at 5/5, presenting a surface that has retained its original brilliance.
