Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Little Doctor 275, 3/4oz Gold / Nickel fishing spoon #1960

Dual-metal plating is a hallmark of this classic design, featuring a distinct contrast between the polished gold and nickel finishes. Stamped clearly into the metal, the "Little Doctor 275" branding remains crisp on the concave side of the spoon, which measures 3 1/2" (9 cm). This Prescott Spinner specimen, identified by product code 1960, tips the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g), providing enough mass for long-distance casting or reaching lower depths in the water column. The hardware is particularly interesting, consisting of a large single hook fitted with a wire weed guard to assist in navigating through submerged vegetation. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the surfaces maintain a bright, mirror-like luster. A sturdy split ring at the nose ensures a reliable connection for a leader. Manufactured in the USA, the lure's construction is robust, and the single hook remains factory-sharp and securely attached.
