Museum Archive: Vintage Horrocks-Ibbotson Wobbler №2, 3/4oz copper /red eyes fishing spoon #22124

Twin red glass beads are crimped directly into the leaf-shaped metal body, acting as high-visibility strike points for predators. Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the identification for the Horrocks-Ibbotson Wobbler №2, marking its origins in Utica, New York. Tipping the scales at 3/4 oz (23 g), the weight is balanced for distance when casting into open water or targeting structure. The warm copper finish on the convex side is complemented by two faceted red eyes that catch light differently than contemporary plastic inserts. A sturdy bronzed treble hook is rigged to the rear with a split ring, while the nose features a period-correct barrel swivel for line management. Evaluation of the condition shows a clean 4/5, with the factory metalwork and stamping remaining sharp. Product code 22124 represents a classic era of American lure manufacturing where glass and heavy-gauge metal were the standard hardware components.
