Museum Archive: Weber Mr Champ, 1/2oz gold fishing spoon #21312

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this metal jigging spoon features a lustrous gold finish that stands out against its original blue and white display card. Produced by the Dura-Pak Corporation in Sioux City, Iowa, under the Weber brand name, the lure is stamped clearly with the "MR CHAMP" logo on its convex face. This 1/2 oz (14 g) specimen remains in unused condition, reflecting the high manufacturing standards of mid-century American tackle. The hardware consists of a single, bronzed treble hook and a robust attachment point at the head, designed for vertical jigging or long-distance casting. Identified by product code 21312, the lure's specific weight is indicated by a manual mark on the sizing scale printed on the card. Though the packaging mentions silver plating, this gold-toned rarity offers a distinct visual profile for collectors and anglers targeting deep-water predators.
