Museum Archive: Vintage Weller Spinno-King 00, 1/4oz Red / White / Gold fishing spoon #3374

Brass-toned and clearly stamped, the underside of this spoon bears the Spinno-King No 00 designation. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the metal body carries a high-contrast red and white wave pattern across its front surface. This specimen, assigned product code 3374, is attributed to Weller and shares heritage with the Pecos River Tackle Co. out of New Mexico, USA. The hardware consists of a single treble hook secured at the base. Small chips in the enameled finish reflect its time in a tackle box, resulting in a well-preserved condition rating of 4/5. Its teardrop profile and solid construction are hallmarks of mid-century American metal lures.
