Museum Archive: Shoff's Freak, 2/5oz Silver #1885

Stamped clearly on the reflective silver blade is the number "2" alongside the "FREAK" model name, identifying this classic Northwest spoon. Produced under the Shoff's brand and distributed by Totem Mfg. in Kent, Washington, this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) lure shows the quality craftsmanship of vintage American tackle. The silver plating is exceptionally clean as the item is unused, retaining its original luster without any signs of age or storage wear. At 2/5oz (12g), the blade is paired with a heavy-duty single hook designed for secure hooksets. The original display carding features charming, mid-century illustrations of anglers, adding a layer of historical character to product code 1885. Its distinctive shape and textured surface are hallmarks of a design intended for casting or trolling in various water conditions.
