Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon 2, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #4870

Polished to a bright nickel finish, the surface of this K-B Spoon 2 captures light effortlessly, making it a standout in any vintage tackle collection. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the spoon carries the substantial feel typical of early American metalwork. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the specimen remains exceptionally clean, preserving the crisp "K-B SUPERIOR PAT. PEND." stamping on its reverse side. The construction features a classic teardrop profile with heavy-duty brass hardware, including a durable swivel and a sharp treble hook secured by split rings. Often referred to by American anglers as a lure for catching big fish, this Superior model was produced by K-B Bait Co. in the USA specifically for targeting larger predators. Identifying this piece within a collection is straightforward via product code 4870, which marks its heritage as a reliable tool for casting or trolling.
