Museum Archive: Vintage Other Little Doctor 255, 1/4oz Copper fishing spoon #5917

Copper tones dominate the finish of this 1 3/4" (4.7 cm) spoon, catching the light with a mirror-like sheen. Manufactured in the USA, the Little Doctor 255 (Product Code: 5917) features clear, crisp stamping on the body that highlights its Great Lakes heritage. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the metal construction provides a solid profile for casting or light trolling. The upper end is accented with three distinct red dots near the line-tie split ring, a classic visual trigger often found on these vintage patterns. A single treble hook is secured by a sturdy split ring at the base, and the overall condition of this specimen is a clear 5/5, showing remarkably well-preserved surfaces.
