Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 3, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #5362

Nickel plating provides a bright, mirrored surface for this 2 3/4" (7 cm) spoon. Stamped clearly on the front with "MEPPS 3 SPOON" and "U.S.A." on the reverse, the metalwork remains crisp and well-defined. At a weight of 1/2 oz (13 g), it is a substantial choice for reaching specific depths during casting or trolling. The hardware is in excellent shape, featuring a treble hook protected by a segment of red tubing, which provides a subtle visual contrast to the silver body. Categorized under product code 5362, the overall state of the specimen is excellent, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. The teardrop shape and slight curvature of the blade are characteristic of the reliable construction Mepps brought to the American market.
