Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Little Doctor 275 Lite, 3/5oz Hammered Copper fishing spoon #6030

Hammered Copper finishes like the one on this specimen were designed to catch and reflect light in various directions, a technique long favored by the American manufacturer Prescott Spinner. Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g), the Little Doctor 275 Lite (Product Code 6030) features a distinct dimpled surface on its convex face that contrasts with the smooth, polished copper on the reverse. Two small red paint accents are positioned near the top line tie, providing a subtle focal point against the warm metallic tone. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the lure is equipped with a stout silver-finished treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. The manufacturer stamps are clearly visible in the metal, reflecting its USA origin. This specimen is in excellent shape, earning a 5/5 condition rating with clean hardware and a bright finish. The heavy-gauge hook and solid metal construction suggest a lure built for casting and trolling applications where durability is paramount.
