Museum Archive: Vintage Moriyama, 1oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #11433

A striking contrast of deep matte blue and reflective metallic tape defines this Japanese-made spoon. Weighing in at 1oz (25g) with a length of 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure features a distinctive textured blue finish across its convex surface, which is split by a wavy, scalloped holographic inlay. A prominent yellow eye with a black pupil is positioned near the nose, providing a high-contrast focal point against the dark blue background. The concave reverse side of the Moriyama spoon displays a polished nickel finish, showcasing the clean metalwork often found in vintage Japanese exports. Registered under product code 11433, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a high level of preservation where the textured coating and decorative tape remain crisp. The hardware is comprised of a robust treble hook and split rings at both the nose and tail for secure rigging.
