Museum Archive: Vintage Lanes Tackle & Bait Lane's Flasher, 2/3oz Copper fishing spoon #6095

Stamped clearly on the inner concave surface is "LANE'S FLASHER" and the manufacturer's home of "WYOMING, N.Y.," showcasing the heritage of Lanes Tackle & Bait. Tipping the scales at 2/3 oz (19 g) with a length of 3 1/4" (8.5 cm), this copper-finished spoon (Product Code 6095) is a clean example of mid-century American craftsmanship. The metal is exceptionally bright, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its well-maintained surface. Originally introduced when the company opened in 1935, this model remained a staple until the factory closed in the early 1980s. It comes rigged with brass-toned split rings and a sharp treble hook, ready for casting or trolling. The stampings are deep and legible, a nice touch for those who appreciate the history behind regional New York makers.
