Museum Archive: Vintage Rocky Mountain minnow, 1/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #1012

Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the identification for this USA-made spoon, marking it as a genuine Rocky Mountain minnow. The teardrop-shaped body features a two-tone finish where polished nickel meets a deep blue section, the latter enhanced by a textured scale pattern. With a compact length of 1 1/2" (4cm) and a weight of 1/3oz (10g), this piece, known by product code 1012, is a staple for those who appreciate the simplicity of vintage metalwork. A sharp treble hook is attached to the tail end via a split ring, ready for casting or trolling. Given its condition rating of 4/5, the lure shows gentle evidence of its history but maintains a clean, well-preserved look for any collection.
