Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta 7, 3/4oz nickel fishing spoon #23497

3/4oz (21g) of polished nickel provides the substantial heft required for long-distance casting or deep-water jigging with this classic American-made spoon. Stamped cleanly on the concave interior is the 'TONY ACCETTA' maker's mark and the numeral '7', indicating its model size within the legendary manufacturer's lineup. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a brilliant, reflective surface and crisp hardware. The construction features a stout treble hook attached at the tail by a heavy-duty split ring, with a matching ring at the nose for secure line-tie connections. Identified by product code 23497, the lure's teardrop profile and balanced metal thickness are hallmarks of the USA production standards of its era. The mirror-like finish is exceptionally well-preserved across the entire curved surface of the spoon.
