Museum Archive: Tony Accetta Tony's Spoon, 2/5oz Gold fishing spoon #9488

Plated in genuine 24K gold, this heavy-gauge metal spoon remains in its original Luhr-Jensen & Sons packaging from the Hood River, Oregon era. The specimen is unused and presents a condition rating of 6, reflecting its well-preserved state within the clear retail blister. Identified by product code 4933-005-0599 (9488), this 2/5oz (11g) lure measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and features a manufacturing date stamp of 06/22/99 on the reverse label. Tony Accetta spoons are recognized for their straightforward stamped design, utilizing the 24K gold finish to maximize light reflection during casting or trolling applications. The hardware consists of a robust trailing treble hook and a pre-drilled nose hole for secure line attachment. This specific piece retains the original multilingual catalog offer on the card back, a detail common to Luhr-Jensen's international distribution during the late 1990s.
