Museum Archive: Vintage Marathon Marathon, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #13724

Measuring exactly 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, this spoon represents the mid-century craftsmanship of the Wisconsin-based Marathon Bait Company. A deep "MARATHON" stamp is centered on the concave side, a characteristic signature of the manufacturer's output during their fifty-year history from 1929 to 1979. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the teardrop-shaped body features a bright Nickel finish that catches light effectively. This specimen, listed under product code 13724, maintains its original hardware configuration consisting of a robust split ring and a treble hook. The overall condition is a 5/5, presenting a clean and highly reflective surface throughout.
