Stamped clearly on the lower body is "88 SUTTON CO. NAPLES, N.Y.", a hallmark of authentic Finger Lakes tackle history. The silver-plated surface features a hammered texture over its 3 1/2" (9 cm) length, creating a soft flash suited for clear water environments. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), its construction utilizes thin-gauge brass to ensure a responsive presence at the slow speeds typical of lake trout trolling. A small black-and-white circular eye is located near the leading edge, adding a simple but effective visual trigger. Hardware including the treble hook is well-maintained, earning this piece a 4/5 condition rating. Product Code 20497 designates this rarity, which serves as a prime example of the specialized spoon designs produced in Naples, New York.
