Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon 3, 1oz Red / White / Brass fishing spoon #11472

The stamped brass back of this K-B Spoon 3 immediately highlights its heritage, bearing the mark of Superior, Wisconsin, from a design heritage dating back to 1929. Long regarded by anglers as a specialized tool for targeting large game fish, this 1 oz (25 g) heavy spoon measures 3 1/2" (9 cm) and is finished in a high-contrast red and white wavy pattern over a white base. Labeled with product code 11472, the lure features a substantial treble hook secured by a heavy-duty ring at the rear. The reverse side remains unpainted, showcasing the original brass material and the stamped brand information. Given a 4/5 condition rating, the lure displays honest signs of age with small paint chips along the edges and minor surface nicks that tell the story of its history without compromising the integrity of the metal.
