Museum Archive: Vintage Marathon (with sonic blades), 3/16oz Gold fishing spoon #15006

Hammered gold textures define the front face of this 3/16oz (5.5g) spoon, creating a faceted surface for light reflection. Cataloged under product code 15006, this USA-manufactured Marathon lure is characterized by its pair of small "sonic blades" that dangle from the rear split rings. These auxiliary teardrop blades sit adjacent to the bronze-finished treble hook, adding secondary metallic elements to the tail end of the lure. The concave reverse side features a deep "MARATHON" stamp, clearly identifying its heritage. Hardware includes robust split rings at the line tie and hook attachment points. In 4/5 condition, the specimen shows well-preserved plating and clean metalwork across both the hammered and smooth surfaces.
