Museum Archive: Vintage Other Thommen Chelly, 3/16oz Yellow / Nickel fishing spoon #5717

A ribbed texture defines the edges of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) metal casting spoon. The Thommen Chelly (Product Code 5717) displays a bright yellow enamel front face, split by a single green stripe and marked by two red spots. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this USA-made lure is a notable piece for collectors of rare, discontinued tackle. The reverse side features a clean nickel finish with two distinct circular indentations. A sturdy treble hook is attached to the tail via a split ring, while the narrow end provides a simple hole for line attachment. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, showing very well-preserved paint and hardware.
