Stamped right into the metal is "NO. 2 WOBBLER CASTING SPOON," identifying this as a classic Horrocks-Ibbotson Co. piece from Utica, N.Y. The 3/4 oz (23 g) weight makes it a substantial choice for distance casting or deep-water retrieval. Its 3" (7.5 cm) copper body has a warm shine that pairs well with the two faceted red beads acting as strike points. These red gems are securely wired into the spoon's body through precision-cut holes, a design choice meant to catch and reflect light from multiple angles. This specimen, listed under product code 9599, features a large, silver-toned treble hook connected via a robust split ring. Rated 5/5, the copper surface is remarkably bright and the red beads remain vivid without any visible wear. Horrocks-Ibbotson was one of the world's largest tackle manufacturers during the 20th century, and the clear, deep stamping on the back of this spoon provides a direct link to their historic Utica production facility.
