Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta Pet Spoon 13, 3/16oz Gold fishing spoon #11126

Stamped clearly on the head with 'TONY ACCETTA PET 13,' this classic metal lure represents a hallmark of mid-century American tackle design from the USA. Gold plating covers the sleek, curved body, which measures 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length. This specimen, identified by product code 11126, weighs 3/16oz (5g) and remains in 5/5 condition, retaining a bright, clean surface. A notable feature is the single hook, dressed with white feathers and secured with a distinctive red thread wrap and a small screw fastener. Tony Accetta, a world champion caster, designed these spoons to be versatile tools for both freshwater and light saltwater applications. The hardware is completed by a sturdy split ring at the line tie for secure leader attachment.
