Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Record 1832, 1oz Nickel fishing spoon #18019

Weighting in at 1 oz (28 g), this classic American-made spoon showcases an ingenious mechanical design from Pflueger's historical catalog. The 4" (10 cm) elongated nickel body features a unique pivoting hook guard, allowing it to function effectively as both a weedless lure and a standard spoon. This specific specimen, bearing product code 18019, is the Pflueger Record 1832, a piece of engineering that reflects the brand's commitment to versatility on the water. Examining the nickel finish, the surface retains a clear, reflective quality with minor signs of handling that fit its 4/5 condition rating. The hardware consists of a single large hook secured by a central mechanical clip and a vintage barrel swivel at the line tie.
