Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee, 1/8oz fishing spoon #14707

Weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g), the heavy-gauge brass body of this spoon is a hallmark of the early National Expert Bait Company designs. The 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) lure features a hammered finish on the front, providing a textured surface that sits alongside a vibrant pink plastic insert meant to simulate a salmon egg. Flipping the spoon over reveals the authentic 'Nebco PIXEE PAT. No. 40 1/8 OZ. BEND' stamping, a detail many collectors look for to verify its pre-Blue Fox era origins. This particular item, product code 14707, remains in 5/5 condition with the brass and the pink roe insert showing no signs of wear. It comes equipped with a sturdy split ring and a silver-toned treble hook. The construction is geared for reaching depth in moving water or maintaining stability when trolling in lakes.
