Museum Archive: Vintage Weller Spinno-King 00, 1/4oz Nickel / Gold fishing spoon #3012

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this dual-faced spoon showcases the classic craftsmanship of the Spinno-King line manufactured by Weller. The 1 1/2" (3.5cm) metal body provides a sharp visual contrast, featuring a mirror-like Nickel exterior and a Gold interior face where the "Spinno-King No 00" name is cleanly stamped. This specific model, product code 3012, is a classic example of American tackle design originating from the New Mexico-based Pecos River Tackle Co era. Hardware includes a classic silver-finished treble hook attached to the rear through a durable split ring. With a condition rating of 4/5, the specimen shows light signs of shelf life but maintains a bright, clean appearance on both the nickel and gold surfaces. The front eyelet remains clear for rigging, typical of spoons designed for versatile casting applications.
