Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Little Doctor 265, 1/3oz Copper fishing spoon #2516

Copper tones dominate the finish of this classic spoon, which features signature red dots near the line tie. Stamped clearly into the metal, the “LITTLE DOCTOR 265” and “USA” markings identify it as a Prescott Spinner production, carrying the product code 2516. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (10g), the lure’s construction is built for casting or trolling across various water columns. The hardware consists of a treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. Regarding the state of the specimen, the metal surfaces are very well-maintained, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. Collectors of American tackle will appreciate how the light catches the curves of the copper body, a design intended to draw attention in freshwater environments.
