Museum Archive: Vintage Weber, 2/5oz Green / Silver fishing spoon #2861

Green spotted paint covers the convex side of this 2 1/4" (6 cm) teardrop-shaped spoon, giving it a classic look reminiscent of early American field-tested gear. Stamped clearly on the silver-finished underside is the Weber brand name, confirming its origin from the USA manufacturing era. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), the solid metal body shows visible signs of its time spent in a tackle box, resulting in a condition rating of 3/5. You can see honest wear with minor paint loss along the edges and some oxidation on the metal surface, which adds to its vintage character. This specific specimen, identified by product code 2861, features a single treble hook attached via a split ring at the base. The simple, functional design is characteristic of Weber’s focus on utility for both casting and trolling applications. A clean line-tie hole is punched at the narrow end of the blank, ensuring it remains a staple piece for collectors of traditional metal hardware.
