Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Trophy, 3/4oz Silver (Silver Plated) fishing spoon #8277

Genuine silver plating provides a unique reflective quality to this 3/4oz (21g) spoon, a finish the Canadian manufacturer chose for its superior flash in deep or stained water. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the Williams Trophy (Product Code 8277) features a signature U-shaped chartreuse accent that serves as a high-visibility strike point. Under low-light conditions, this painted insert reacts with a distinct glow, complementing the natural luster of the silver-plated body. The surface shows gentle signs of honest use, maintaining a 4/5 condition rating that reflects its history while remaining fully functional. A heavy-gauge split ring secures a black treble hook, designed for the rigors of casting or trolling for larger predators like lake trout and northern pike. This specimen represents the classic design standards developed by the Williams brothers, who pioneered the use of precious metal plating in tackle manufacturing during the early 1900s.
