Museum Archive: Vintage Sutton Spoon 22, 1/8oz Silver fishing spoon #5036

Stamped clearly into the silver-plated metal, the "22" mark identifies this 3 1/4" (8 cm) specimen as a genuine upstate New York classic from Naples. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), the Sutton Spoon 22 (Product Code 5036) utilizes a notably thin brass construction that allows for a soft, quivering action during a troll. This specific lure features a clean Silver finish and remains in well-preserved condition, earning a 4/5 rating for its bright reflective surface and intact hardware. The reverse side carries the authentic "SUTTON CO. NAPLES, N.Y." hallmark, a detail highly regarded by anglers targeting Trout and Salmon in clear-water environments. It comes rigged with its original-style silver treble hook, designed for the delicate, realistic presentation needed for deep-water species. This USA-made trolling spoon remains a staple for collectors of the brand founded by Scott R. Sutton back in 1867.
