Museum Archive: Vintage Weber W-2, 1/2oz nickel fishing spoon #22613

Hammered nickel surfaces define the aesthetic of this Weber W-2, a classic split-blade spoon hailing from the USA. At 3" (7.5 cm) in length and 1/2 oz (14 g) in weight, the design utilizes two distinct metal sections joined at the head to create a unique profile. The primary blade features a deeply dimpled texture to maximize light reflection, while a smaller, smooth teardrop trailer is attached to the rear split ring alongside the treble hook. This specific specimen, identified by product code 22613, showcases the quality craftsmanship of the Stevens Point manufacturer. The hardware and plating are in very good shape, earning a 4/5 condition rating for its clean surfaces and intact components. Seeing the Weber stamp on the trailer blade is a nice touch for those who appreciate the brand's history beyond their famous fly patterns. Anglers typically utilized these heavier spoons for casting or trolling in deeper structures.
