Museum Archive: Vintage Horrocks-Ibbotson Wobbler, 3/4oz Copper / Blue fishing spoon #5870

Stamped directly into the copper surface, the manufacturer markings denote this No. 2 casting spoon as a genuine Horrocks-Ibbotson product from Utica, New York. Weighing in at 3/4oz (23g), the 3" (7.5cm) lure features a classic leaf-shaped design aimed at traditional casting and trolling methods. Two faceted blue beads are mounted through the body, providing a distinctive visual contrast against the warm copper finish. The hardware includes a pair of sharp treble hooks attached at either end with sturdy metal rings. Under product code 5870, this American-made spoon exhibits a 5/5 condition with the metal and glass elements remaining remarkably clean and bright.
