Museum Archive: Prescott Spinner Little Doctor 275, 3/4oz Copper fishing spoon #5959

Coated in a warm Copper finish, the metal body of this vintage spoon exemplifies the design standards of American-made tackle from the mid-20th century. The 3/4oz (21g) weight provides significant mass for maintaining depth while trolling or achieving distance in long casting applications. Identified as the Little Doctor 275, Product Code 5959, the lure features the classic "2 in 1" configuration established by the Prescott Spinner Co., allowing for line attachment at either end to vary the presentation. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the specimen is equipped with a large treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. This unused specimen remains in its original blister packaging, which highlights the brand's history under KOTCO Manufacturing in Akron, Ohio.
