Vintage Other Whitney Jr, 3/16oz Hammered Brass fishing spoon #15540

Hammered brass gives this 3/16oz (5.5g) spoon a distinct, dimpled texture designed to catch and scatter light across its 1 1/2" (3.5cm) surface. This specific Whitney Jr., identified by Product Code 15540, represents a classic era of American lure manufacturing where metal craftsmanship was paramount. While the front side is heavily textured, the reverse remains smooth and is clearly stamped with the model name. A gold-finished treble hook is secured to the tail, paired with a matching split ring. In its 4/5 condition, the metal shows some surface marks and light oxidation consistent with its age, reflecting its history without losing its structural integrity. The line-tie hole at the narrow end is cleanly punched, ready for a snap or direct tie for light-tackle casting or vertical jigging.
