Museum Archive: Vintage Other Little Doctor 265, 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #7693

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this casting spoon remains a versatile choice for a variety of freshwater species. Stamped clearly into the gold-finished metal is the 'DOCTOR 265' name, identifying it as a classic USA-made piece of hardware. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, this specimen features two distinct red dots near the top eyelet, providing a focused point of visual contrast against the metallic body. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail, with a matching split ring at the head for line attachment. Under product code 7693, the gold plating shows light signs of honest use while maintaining a solid 4/5 condition rating. The convex side retains its polished sheen, while the concave back exhibits a slightly more muted, aged gold tone typical of metal lures from this era.
