Vintage Sutton Spoon 88, 1/4oz silver/gold fishing spoon #24143

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this spoon displays the distinct 'Sutton Co. Naples, N.Y.' and '88' stamps on its smooth concave side. The 3 1/2" (9cm) body is exceptionally thin, a characteristic construction method using plated brass that is synonymous with the Naples, New York manufacturer. This specific specimen features a hammered finish on the outer surface, designed to catch light from various angles during a troll. Used extensively for trout and salmon, the light weight allows for a presentation that stays higher in the water column compared to heavier casting spoons. The plating shows a well-preserved luster, earning this lure a condition rating of 4/5. A single large hook is mounted to the rear, ready for a technical trolling setup in clear lake environments.
