Museum Archive: Vintage Woodstream Old Faithful , 1/4oz Brass fishing spoon #0953

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the teardrop profile of this brass spoon is a familiar sight for anyone who appreciates mid-century American tackle. Woodstream Corporation manufactured this Old Faithful model, product code 0953, between 1950 and 1980. Its 1/4oz (7g) weight makes it a versatile choice for a variety of casting environments. The brass finish displays the honest wear typical of a 3/5 condition rating, giving the metal a softened look that collectors often find appealing. It comes equipped with a single treble hook and a line-tie split ring, both showing the sturdy construction standards of its USA origin. The stamp and material quality on this 0953 model reflect the utilitarian design that kept these lures in production for three decades.
