Vintage Sutton Spoon 5, 1/16oz silver fishing spoon #23968

Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (2 g), this silver-plated Sutton Spoon 5 is a prime example of the ultra-thin design that made the Hammondsport, New York company legendary. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the spoon features a subtle curve that, combined with its lightweight brass core, produces the soft, quivering motion Sutton is known for when targeting Salmon or Lake Trout. On the reverse side, the authentic manufacturer stamp is clearly visible near the split ring. This specimen, identified by product code 23968, maintains a high-quality appearance, showing gentle surface wear while retaining a bright silver finish, earning a 4/5 condition rating. Because of its thin profile, it excels in clear water trolling scenarios where a realistic, wounded baitfish presentation is the key to triggering a strike. The hardware remains functional, featuring a single treble hook attached by a robust split ring at the rear.
