Museum Archive: Vintage Johnson Sprite, 1/3oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #7361

Stamped clearly into the metal on the concave side is the "JOHNSON'S SPRITE" identifier, a hallmark of its domestic production history. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this spoon carries the distinct profile of a classic casting lure. The polished Nickel finish provides a high-flash surface, decorated on the convex side with a series of red dots. Cataloged as Product Code 7361, this specific item was manufactured in the USA before production for the brand moved abroad. The condition is rated 5/5, showing a remarkably clean and reflective surface. A sharp treble hook is attached to the tail via a strong split ring, while a single punched hole at the head is ready for a snap or direct line tie.
