Museum Archive: Vintage Unknown JEEP, 2/5oz Nickel fishing spoon #1321

Stamped clearly with the 'JEEP' brand name on its inner concave surface, this metal spoon is a classic example of mid-century American tackle. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the lure features a distinctive hammered Nickel finish on its convex face to provide a faceted reflection. The interior side is smooth, highlighting the stamped logo and its USA manufacturing origin. Carrying product code 1321, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, with the plating remaining bright and reflective across both surfaces. A standard treble hook is attached to the tail via a split ring, showing the simple and effective construction typical of these early casting spoons.
