Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Limper, 3/16oz brass fishing spoon #19830

Stamped clearly on the underside of the polished brass body, the 'PFLUEGER LIMPER' and 'PAT. PEND.' markings provide an immediate connection to mid-century American tackle history. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and weighing 3/16oz (5.5g), this spoon, identified by product code 19830, represents a classic casting and trolling design from the USA. The lure is equipped with its original hardware, including a substantial single hook and a barrel swivel assembly featuring a distinct brass bead at the line-tie end. Rated at a 4/5 condition, the brass surface remains bright and shows only light evidence of its age, while the split ring and hook maintain their structural integrity. This specimen illustrates the straightforward engineering Pflueger employed for lures meant to withstand regular use in varied water conditions.
