Museum Archive: Vintage Harrison Industries Vibra Baby Bat, 3/16oz nickel fishing spoon #19864

Nickel plating covers the entirety of this American-made Harrison Industries lure, providing a high-flash finish that has held up well over the decades. Measuring just 0 3/4" (2 cm) in length, the Vibra Baby Bat is a compact 3/16 oz (5 g) metal lure designed for casting or jigging. This vintage specimen carries the product code 19864 and retains its bright, silver-colored appearance across the stamped metal body. The unique construction forms a pair of distinct wings, while the front vertical plate features dual holes for choosing different line-tie attachment points. A single treble hook is mounted on the upper rear of the body, remaining sharp and securely attached to the metal frame. Rated at 4/5, the overall condition is very tidy, with the metal surfaces showing only minor signs of previous handling. The bat-wing silhouette remains a hallmark of the manufacturer's mid-century output in the USA, where hardware was built for durability.
