Museum Archive: Vintage Paravan, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #1041

Stamping on the concave side clearly identifies its origin from Norway, where Paravan produced these distinctive fish-shaped metal spoons. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this specimen features a polished nickel finish that maintains a brilliant luster across its curved surfaces. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail, which is distinctly shaped like a fish's fluke. Registered under product code 1041, the lure weighs in at 3/16 oz (5.5 g), fitting for light-tackle casting techniques. Collectors will appreciate the 5/5 condition rating, as the reflective metal remains clear of significant wear. The stamped brand mark and origin are sharp and legible against the smooth interior of the bowl.
