Stamped clearly into the polished nickel reverse, the "MARATHON" name arc identifies this 2 1/4" (6 cm) spoon as a mid-century classic from Wisconsin. The face features a deep Dark Red finish accented by a vibrant, red prismatic scale insert that reflects light differently at every angle. At the tail, near the sharp silver treble hook, are two small, teardrop-shaped "sonic blades." These auxiliary nickel blades provide extra flash and visual cues, mimicking the flickering fins of a baitfish while helping to mask the hook's profile. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this specimen (Product Code 10185) hails from the Marathon Bait Company, which produced lures in the USA for fifty years. The nickel hardware and split rings remain bright, and the overall condition is a highly collectible 5/5.
