Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta Tony Acetta Pet Spoon 13, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #23571

Weighing in at a compact 1/4 oz (7 g), the nickel-finished body of this piece carries the unmistakable stamping of the Tony Accetta brand from Cleveland, Ohio. This Pet Spoon 13, identified by product code 23571, measures a nimble 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and remains in excellent 5/5 condition. A standout feature for any collector is the hand-tied red and silver feathers secured to the single hook with blue thread, all held in place by a prominent brass screw. To keep it functional in thicker cover, the design includes a wire weed guard extending over the hook point. The metal surface is bright and clean, reflecting the quality manufacturing that made these spoons a staple in American tackle boxes for decades. A sturdy split ring is already attached to the line tie at the front.
