Museum Archive: Vintage Moriyama, 2/5oz Frog / Nickel fishing spoon #13117

Deep forest-green paint serves as the foundation for six hand-painted yellow and black eyes on the convex face of this Japanese-made spoon. Weighing 11g (2/5 oz), the lure is constructed for casting across open water or along weed lines. The reverse side features a polished nickel finish that catches light, bearing the stamped "Moriyama" name and "JAPAN" origin. At 5 cm (2") in length, the teardrop profile is paired with a sturdy treble hook and original split rings. Cataloged under product code 13117, the piece shows no significant signs of wear and remains in excellent shape with a 5/5 condition rating. The high-contrast color palette of the frog pattern is protected by a thick, glossy clear coat. The "Moriyama" lettering is stamped with precision into the metal on the interior curve.
