Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta Pet Spoon 12, 1/16oz Nickel/yellow fishing spoon #16669

Weighing a mere 1/16 oz (2 g), this nickel-plated spoon represents a refined era of ultra-light tackle design. The Tony Accetta Pet Spoon 12, carrying the product code 16669, measures exactly 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length and remains a staple for those who appreciate historical American-made hardware. A distinctive feature of this USA-born lure is the yellow feather trailer, meticulously bound to the single hook with red thread and secured to the spoon body by a flat-head brass screw. The polished metal surface is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's marks, highlighting a piece in 5/5 condition with no signs of age. Its slender, teardrop profile is balanced for precision when casting into small streams or still waters for panfish and trout.
