Museum Archive: Vintage Shoff's Big Tripple Teazer, 3/32oz Nickel fishing spoon #3295

Polished nickel plating catches the light across the 1 1/2" (4 cm) body of this classic American-made spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the "SHOFF'S BIG TRIPLE TEAZER" mark, a signature of the Shoff's Tackle Company from Kent, Washington. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.5 g), the spoon features a distinct fish-silhouette profile, complete with stylized fins that give the metal its characteristic shape. For the collector of Pacific Northwest tackle, this specimen—bearing product code 3295—is a fine example of mid-century metalwork. It comes rigged with a single hook attached by a brass-toned split ring at the tail, mirrored by a matching line-tie ring at the nose. A condition rating of 4/5 indicates some honest, light wear on the finish while maintaining a high level of brilliance for display or light tackle angling. The metal's curvature and stamped details are well-preserved.
