Museum Archive: Vintage Horrocks-Ibbotson Wobbler, 3/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #5260

Two faceted blue glass beads serve as striking focal points on the polished nickel surface of this classic piece from Utica, New York. Bearing the stamped mark of Horrocks-Ibbotson, this specific lure carries product code 5260 and maintains an impressive condition rated 5/5. The spoon measures exactly 3" (7.5 cm) in length and offers a solid casting weight of 3/4 oz (23 g). Looking at the concave side, the identification "WOBBLER" and "NO. 2" is deeply stamped into the metal, confirming its mid-century American heritage. This specimen features a clean Nickel / Blue color scheme and is rigged with twin treble hooks attached by sturdy split rings. It serves as a prime example of the hardware produced by one of the largest fishing tackle manufacturers in history during its peak years of production.
