Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta Tony Acetta Pet Spoon 15, 1/2oz nickel fishing spoon #23572

Nickel-plated surfaces give this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon a classic reflective quality that has aged beautifully. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the metal body features a crisp stamped imprint identifying it as a Tony Accetta "Pet" model 15 from Cleveland, Ohio. Looking at the underside, a single hook is integrated into the design, protected by a slender wire weed guard for navigating aquatic vegetation. The tail is dressed with a generous amount of cream-colored bucktail, neatly secured with a red thread wrap that adds a point of interest against the polished metal. This specific specimen, product code 23572, carries a 5/5 condition rating, showing exceptionally clean surfaces and hardware. A sturdy metal split ring is attached to the nose, ready for rigging. The construction reflects the durable USA-made craftsmanship typical of mid-century hardware.
