Museum Archive: Vintage Sutton Spoon 22, 1/8oz fishing spoon #20382

Stamped clearly with the "22" model number and "NAPLES, NY" mark near the line tie, this silver-plated spoon showcases the traditional craftsmanship of the Sutton company. Weighing 1/8 oz (4g), the lure features an exceptionally thin brass body designed for a soft, quivering action during a slow troll. This specimen, identified by product code 20382, carries a condition rating of 3/5, showing a slight bend near the hook attachment that reflects its history on the water. The silver finish provides a high-flash profile essential for targeting lake trout and salmon in clear-water environments. Its lightweight construction is a hallmark of the Naples-based manufacturer, offering a presentation that has remained a staple in tackle boxes for over a century. The original hardware remains intact, securing the hook to the tapered tail of the metal blank.
