Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Little Doctor 255, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #21431

Nickel plating catches the light across the sleek, curved body of this Little Doctor 255, a classic design from Prescott Spinner out of St. Paul, Minnesota. Stamped with the iconic "10,000 LAKES ST. PAUL" text, this specimen highlights the regional craftsmanship synonymous with mid-century American tackle. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), this spoon is a compact choice for casting or light trolling setups. The metal surface remains exceptionally bright, clearly displaying the "DOCTOR 255" identifier and original factory markings. Cataloged under product code 21431, the lure features a sharp treble hook and a robust split ring for connection. The condition of this USA-made lure is rated 5/5, showing a remarkably well-preserved finish for a collector's display or a vintage tackle box.
