Museum Archive: Vintage Worth Red King Spoon, 3/5oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #1942

Featuring a classic hammered nickel finish, this Worth Red King Spoon catches light across its distinct honeycomb-patterned surface. This specific 3/5 oz (17 g) model, carrying product code 1942, showcases the manufacturing quality typical of vintage USA-made tackle. The teardrop-shaped body measures 3" (7.5 cm) in length, providing a substantial profile for a variety of freshwater species. One of the most striking visual elements is the vibrant red treble hook, which is paired with a matching red plastic attractor tab at the split ring connection. The condition of this specimen is rated 5/5, showing a clean, reflective surface and well-preserved hardware. The reverse side of the spoon remains smooth and polished, contrasting with the textured front that creates multiple flash points. Designed for casting or trolling, the heavy-gauge metal construction ensures durability while maintaining its bright metallic luster.
