Museum Archive: Vintage Northen Specialty Northern Specialty 3 Whitehall , 1/4oz brass fishing spoon #21822

Hammered brass textures on the front face define this vintage spoon, catching light much differently than a smooth finish would. Stamped directly into the metal is the mark of 'Northern Specialty Co. Whitehall N.Y.,' identifying its origin in a historic hub of American tackle manufacturing. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the specimen maintains its structural integrity through well-fitted split rings connecting the treble hook and a front barrel swivel. Labeled as product code 21822, this brass rarity is a significant find for collectors specializing in New York state fishing history. The metal surfaces have acquired a rich, deepened tone over time, resulting in a well-maintained 4/5 condition that reflects its years in a tackle box.
