Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 3, 1oz Silver fishing spoon #13856

Stamped clearly on the reverse side with its French origin, this 1oz (26g) silver spoon showcases the heavy-duty construction Mepps is known for. This Syclops 3 model, identified by product code 13856, measures 3 1/2" (9cm) and features a distinctive S-shaped profile engineered for deep-water presentation and long-distance casting. The polished silver finish is accented by a series of red crescent patterns that frame the product name on the front, while the back side is deeply engraved with the weight and the "S" logo. For hardware, it carries a sturdy treble hook dressed with a red plastic attractor sleeve on the shank, connected via a heavy split ring. A barrel swivel is pre-attached to the nose to help manage line twist during retrieval. The metal surface features a subtle, scale-like texture that catches the light across the curves of the body. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, maintaining its crisp graphics and bright reflective quality.
