Black and white enamel coats the face of this vintage teardrop-shaped lure, creating a high-contrast pattern designed for visibility in various light conditions. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the metal body features a stamped reverse side that identifies it as an AQUA SPOON from Nebco, a manufacturer once based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The 1/3oz (10g) weight provides enough mass for casting into deeper pockets or maintaining depth during a steady troll. This specimen, listed under product code 18639, is equipped with its original treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. The nickel finish on the back remains bright, while the painted side shows small chips along the edges, reflecting its 4/5 condition rating. Every detail, from the crisp stamping to the clean line tie eyelet, highlights the utilitarian design common in mid-century American tackle production.
