Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco FlashBait 2662, 1/4oz Rainbow Brass / Nickel fishing spoon #2805

Stamped clearly on the nickel-finished concave side is the 'NEBCO FLASHBAIT 2662' identifier along with the 'MPLS. MINN.' origin, marking this as a genuine piece of mid-century Minnesota fishing history. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (8 g), the lure features a distinctive Rainbow Brass over Nickel finish that reflects light across its teardrop-shaped body. The construction utilizes a robust split ring to secure a sharp treble hook, making it a reliable choice for casting in freshwater environments. The metal surface remains bright and shows only very minor handling marks, earning a 4/5 condition rating from a collector's standpoint. This specific specimen, cataloged under Product Code 2805, represents the classic American metalwork typical of Nebco's manufacturing era.
