Museum Archive: Vintage Herter's Spoon Lure, 1/3oz Frog fishing spoon #4533

Coated in a classic Frog pattern, the green and yellow finish on this 1/3oz (9g) metal specimen features distinctive dark eye-spots across its broad, multi-contoured winged profile. Stamped with product code 4533, the lure represents the functional, no-nonsense design philosophy often found in Herter's catalog items from the USA. The metal body measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and is shaped with several distinct tiers, while the reverse side is finished in a bright, polished silver. With a condition rating of 5/5, the paint is notably crisp, and the hardware remains bright. It is rigged with two treble hooks; one is suspended through a central slot in the belly of the spoon, and the other is attached to the tail via a sturdy split ring.
