Museum Archive: Vintage Weller Spinno-King 00, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #8868

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this classic nickel-plated spoon features a clean, reflective finish that is quintessential for vintage American hardware. Stamped clearly on the convex side is "Spinno-King No. 00," representing the craftsmanship of the Weller brand, which has historical ties to the Pecos River Tackle Co. The 1 1/2" (3.5cm) body is built with a simple teardrop profile, designed for casting or trolling in various freshwater environments. Looking closely at the hardware, the lure is rigged with original-style split rings and a sharp treble hook, all maintaining a condition rating of 5/5. This particular specimen, identified by product code 8868, showcases the durable nickel plating used to attract species through simple light reflection.
