Museum Archive: Vintage Silver Horde / Gold Star Silver Horde Gold Star KF 5H, 3/5oz silver fishing spoon #20230

Silver scales are simulated by a distinct hexagonal honeycomb pattern across the entire metal body of this 3/5 oz (17 g) spoon. Manufactured in the USA by Silver Horde / Gold Star, the KF 5H model is a staple of traditional trolling techniques, particularly valued for its solid construction. This specimen, identified by product code 20230, measures exactly 4" (10 cm) and displays a clean, bright silver finish. Rated at a 4/5 condition, the hardware and stamped details remain well-preserved, showing only the softest signs of time. The lure is rigged with a strong treble hook connected by a split ring, complementing the streamlined profile. Its reflective surface is comprised of numerous small facets designed to maximize visibility.
