Museum Archive: Marathon Marathon, 1/2oz Brass fishing spoon #0000

Brass construction gives this 1/2 oz (14 g) lure a substantial feel that is immediately recognizable to any seasoned angler. Measuring exactly 2 3/4 inches (7 cm), the Marathon spoon features a clean, teardrop profile designed for casting or trolling in fresh or salt water. Produced under the Marathon brand in the USA, the metal body bears a distinct manufacturer stamp on its concave interior. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook attached via a reliable split ring, reflecting original factory assembly. Because this specimen is unused (Condition 6), the brass surfaces maintain their original luster without the marks of use. Product code 0000 identifies this specific piece within a curated collection.
