Museum Archive: Vintage Joe's Flies Lindy Finsel, 1/3oz Silver (Silver Plated) fishing spoon #4497

Silver plating across the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body provides the foundational flash for this Lindy Finsel casting spoon from Joe's Flies. Stamped prominently on the rear of the blade is the model name, confirming its origin as a piece of USA-made tackle history. A textured, diamond-patterned reflective tape bisects the silver-plated surface, while a painted yellow eye with a black pupil sits near the top split ring. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure is equipped with a hook dressed in a shimmering silver tinsel skirt. Carrying the product code 4497, the specimen is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a clean and well-preserved metallic finish. Small surface marks on the plating reflect its vintage journey without detracting from its structural integrity.
