Museum Archive: Vintage Sutton Spoon, 1/4oz Nickel / Copper fishing spoon #2941

Polished nickel and warm copper finishes create a distinct two-tone flash on this 1/4oz (8g) trolling piece, identified by product code 2941. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length, the specimen showcases the signature ultra-thin brass construction that has made Sutton a legendary name among trout and salmon anglers since 1867. A condition rating of 4/5 is applied here, as the metallic plating remains bright and well-preserved across both the convex and concave surfaces. The lure is equipped with a sharp treble hook and a traditional split ring, designed to provide the soft quivering motion these spoons are known for during clear-water trolling. Originating from the USA, the design relies on its thin profile to mimic wounded baitfish without the need for heavy hardware.
