Museum Archive: Vintage Kushner Kush Spoon, 1/3oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #1443

Vibrant red dots against a bright yellow background highlight the distinctive wavy pattern on a 1/3 oz (9 g) Kushner classic. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the nickel-plated body carries a "KUSH SPOON" stamp on its reverse side, marking it as the rare American-made ancestor to the Acme Kamlooper. This specific specimen, identified by product code 1443, utilizes a polished nickel base to create flash around the central painted S-curve. The lure is rigged with an original treble hook and a sturdy split ring. Its finish remains bright and clear, earning a 4/5 condition rating for its well-maintained surfaces and paint.
