Museum Archive: Vintage Weber Mr Champ, 1/2oz nickel fishing spoon #21167

Polished nickel plating covers the 2" (5 cm) body of this classic metal spoon, which has been a staple in American tackle boxes for decades. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Weber Mr Champ, identified by product code 21167, features a stamped name and brand mark directly into the metal body. The business end is equipped with a treble hook adorned with a white bucktail dressing, secured by a distinct red thread wrap that serves as a subtle visual strike point. This specimen arrives in exceptional condition, earning a 5/5 rating with its reflective surface remaining bright and the original hardware fully intact. Designed primarily for heavy casting or vertical jigging, the slab-sided construction allows it to sink efficiently through the water column. A sturdy split ring connects the dressed hook to the tapered rear of the metal blank.
