Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee UV​, 1/2oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #15015

Hammered nickel finishes provide a classic reflective quality to this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon, which measures exactly 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length. The signature green simulated salmon egg insert is a hallmark of the Nebco Pixee UV, designed by the National Expert Bait Company for long-distance casting in both fresh and saltwater environments. On the reverse side, the clear 'Nebco Pixee Pat. D-42-1/2 oz. Pend.' stamp provides authentic provenance from the era before the brand evolved into Blue Fox. This specimen, assigned product code 15015, features a heavy-gauge brass body construction that helps the lure maintain depth in strong river currents or deep lake pockets. The original treble hook remains sharp and is securely mounted via a sturdy split ring. Classified at a 5/5 condition rating, the nickel plating maintains its luster across the dimpled surface, and the translucent green insert shows no signs of degradation.
