Museum Archive: Vintage James E. Clark Spoon #2, 2/5oz nickel fishing spoon #18866

Nickel plating gives this 3" (7.5cm) spoon a high-visibility flash that has made the James E. Clark brand a staple in coastal tackle boxes for generations. Tipping the scales at 2/5oz (12g), this #2 size model features a streamlined, diamond-profile body designed for efficient cutting through the water column. A distinctive spring-tempered wire guard extends from the center rivet to the hook point, confirming its status as a specialized weedless version of the classic Clark Spoon. Near the line tie, a vibrant red bead provides a subtle focal point against the polished metal. Looking closely at the interior face, the 'CLARK SPOON #2' and 'MADE IN USA' stamps are crisp and legible, marking its authentic American heritage. Assigned product code 18866, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a mirror-like finish across its entire surface. The hook remains sharp and the weed guard shows perfect tension, reflecting the quality control synonymous with the James E. Clark name.
