Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 2, 1/4oz brass fishing spoon #19522

Stamped with the "U.S.A." mark of origin on its inner face, this 1/4 oz (8 g) brass lure captures a specific era in American tackle manufacturing. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the Mepps Spoon 2 features a polished brass finish and deep, legible stampings on the convex side. Its hardware consists of durable split rings at both the line tie and the tail, where a treble hook is equipped with a distinctive red sleeve along the shank to serve as a visual strike point. Identified by product code 19522, this vintage trolling model is no longer in production, making it a notable find for those who appreciate older Mepps designs beyond their standard spinners. The condition of this specimen is rated at 5/5, as the metal surfaces remain exceptionally clean and the lettering is sharp.
