Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Limper #1, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #23178

Stamped clearly on the nickel-finished blade is 'PFLUEGER LIMPER 1 MADE IN U.S.A.', a mark of quality from one of America's most storied tackle makers. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this compact spoon measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and features a classic teardrop profile built for long-distance casting or trolling. The nickel plating remains exceptionally bright and reflective, justifying a condition rating of 5/5 for its well-preserved state. For hardware, it utilizes robust split rings at both ends to secure a dark-finished treble hook and provide a sturdy line tie point. Identified by product code 23178, this specific Pflueger model reflects the mid-century manufacturing standards that defined US-made fishing gear.
