Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 1/2oz nickel/ red eyes fishing spoon #21455

Weighing in at 1/2oz (13g), this classic spoon features the signature dual faceted red glass eyes that define the Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the spoon’s body is finished in a bright, reflective nickel that catches light from all angles. On the reverse side, the authentic "RED EYE" and "ROCHESTER, NY" stampings remain crisp, marking its origin under product code 21455. The hardware is comprised of a sharp treble hook and a barrel swivel at the head, both connected by sturdy split rings. This specimen sits at a 5/5 condition, showing a clean, mirror-like surface free of wear. The design is intended for casting or trolling, where the spoon’s shape provides a steady swimming motion even at lower speeds.
