Stamped with the name "KILLURE" along its curved metal flank, this vintage specimen highlights the distinctive aesthetic that made the Russelure brand a West Coast staple. This 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) lure consists of a thin, arched nickel body that weighs 3/32 oz (3 g), making it a light choice for light casting or trolling setups. The "PAT. PEND." and "MADE IN USA" markings on the concave side provide a clear link to the mid-century manufacturing era when these spoons were developed. The nickel finish is bright and reflective across the entire surface, leading to a condition rating of 5/5. A single treble hook is secured to the tail by a split ring, maintaining its original hardware configuration. Cataloged under product code 21797, this rarity remains a well-preserved example of specialized American tackle design.
