Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #10999

Stamped with the 'MADE IN CANADA' mark, the brass-toned body of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon shows the precision that has kept this model in tackle boxes since the early 20th century. This specific specimen carries the product code 10999 and weighs in at a versatile 1/4oz (7 g). The distinctive raised longitudinal rib along the center of the Gold-colored blade is a functional hallmark, engineered to maintain stability whether casting or trolling for pike and walleye. Production moved exclusively to Canada in 1978, which aligns with the clear lettering found on the concave side. Its condition is a solid 5/5, presenting as a very well-maintained example of Canadian tackle history. A barrel swivel is attached to the top split ring, while a bronzed treble hook completes the hardware on the trailing end.
