Museum Archive: Vintage James E. Clark Сlark Spoon, 3/16oz nickel fishing spoon #18454

Stamped directly into the bright nickel plating is the classic 'CLARK SPOON - SQUID' mark, identifying this piece as a genuine James E. Clark creation from the USA. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and weighing 3/16oz (5g), this specimen features a weedless design where the single hook is secured by a flathead screw directly to the inner face of the spoon. A vibrant red bead is positioned at the head near the integrated swivel to offer a sharp visual contrast against the reflective metal body. This specific lure, designated with Product Code 18454, remains in unused condition and receives a 5/5 rating for its well-preserved surfaces and hardware. The underside reveals detailed patent information and branding stamped clearly into the metal, reflecting the functional simplicity intended for trolling or casting.
