Museum Archive: Vintage Kmart Spoon, 1/4oz red/white/nickel fishing spoon #22759

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this teardrop-shaped metal lure serves as a prime example of mid-century utility tackle. A bold red and white diagonal stripe pattern coats the front face, contrasted by a polished nickel back that offers high-contrast flash. Tipping the scales at 1/4 oz (7 g), the weight is concentrated to assist with distance when casting toward weed edges or structure. This USA-made Kmart Spoon, identified by product code 22759, features a traditional treble hook secured by a split ring. Looking at the finish, the condition is a 5/5, showing a clean surface with no visible signs of wear. The simple, effective design reflects an era when department stores provided dependable, American-made gear for the everyday angler.
