Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon, 1/4oz brass/red fishing spoon #22476

Featuring a classic hammered scale pattern on the face, the brass and red finish provides a textured visual that catches light effectively during a steady retrieve. The 1 3/4" (4.5cm) body is stamped on the reverse with "AQUA SPOON MADE IN U.S.A.," identifying it as a Nebco piece with product code 22476. At a weight of 1/4oz (7g), the metal construction is balanced for long casting and stays down in the water column. The vibrant red diagonal stripes are applied over the hammered brass base, with visible paint highlights remaining around the line tie and tail, reflecting its 4/5 condition. A sharp treble hook is attached to the rear ring, ready for the water or a collector's display board. The deep-set lettering on the back provides a tactile connection to American tackle history.
