Museum Archive: Vintage Horrocks-Ibbotson Wobbler, 3/4oz copper/red eyes fishing spoon #19347

Two faceted red beads are prominently set into the stamped copper body of this vintage casting spoon, serving as striking eyes that catch the light. Stamped clearly on the concave side is the identification for the NO. 2 WOBBLER CASTING SPOON, noting its manufacture by the Horrocks-Ibbotson Co. in Utica, N.Y. At a length of 3" (7.5 cm) and a weight of 3/4 oz (23 g), this specimen carries enough heft for accurate casting in various water conditions. The copper finish has aged gracefully, earning a condition rating of 4/5 while maintaining a clean, authentic appearance. A sturdy treble hook is attached to the rear via a split ring, designed to match the scale of the 19347 lure body. Originating from the USA, this particular model reflects the mid-century craftsmanship synonymous with the Horrocks-Ibbotson brand.
