Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta Pet Spoon 15, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #12478

Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, this Tony Accetta Pet Spoon 15 shows the classic craftsmanship that made the brand a staple in American tackle boxes. The high-polish nickel finish remains bright across its 1/2 oz (14 g) frame, still clearly displaying the stamped "Tony Accetta" and "Pet Spoon" branding alongside the model number and its USA origin. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 12478, features a well-preserved wire weed guard—a functional design element intended for fishing through aquatic vegetation. The single hook is dressed with a bunch of natural brown bucktail hair, providing a soft contrast to the sleek metal body. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure presents as a clean example for any collection, with the mounting screw and line tie ring showing no signs of heavy wear or corrosion. Its slender, leaf-like profile is a hallmark of the functional design Tony Accetta brought to his casting and trolling spoons.
