Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Badger Spoon 3, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #16667

A polished Gold finish catches the light across the leaf-like profile of this classic American lure. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the Seneca Badger Spoon 3 is a testament to the straightforward utility of mid-century tackle design. Originating from the USA, this specimen carries the product code 16667. The metal body features stamped "SENECA BADGER" and "MADE IN U.S.A." identifiers on its exterior, a detail characteristic of the brand's manufacturing process. For the hardware, it utilizes a large single-point hook connected by a heavy-duty split ring, intended for solid hooksets when casting or trolling. Another split ring at the eye ensures a secure connection to the leader. This particular example is unused, retaining its original high-luster gold plating and sharp hook point.
