Museum Archive: Vintage Other Little Doctor 265, 1/3oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #3346

Three distinct red dots near the line tie provide a sharp contrast against the bright, reflective nickel finish of this vintage spoon. Manufactured in the USA by 10,000 Lakes in St. Paul, the Little Doctor 265 carries deep, legible stampings on its convex side that mark its regional heritage. This specific specimen, identified by product code 3346, measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and weighs 1/3oz (10g), a versatile size for casting or trolling. The mirror-like nickel plating is exceptionally well-preserved across the entire body, earning a condition rating of 5/5. A sturdy treble hook is securely attached to the rear with a robust split ring, ensuring the hardware matches the quality of the stamped metal.
