Museum Archive: Vintage Williams WIlliams Wabler, 1oz Silver (Silver plated) fishing spoon #1188

Silver-plated and weighing 1oz (28g), this classic spoon from Williams is built around a signature stabilizing ridge that defines the Wabler series. The 4" (10cm) body displays a hammered texture, a feature intended to scatter light much like the scales of a baitfish. Cataloged as product code 1188, this Canadian-crafted lure showcases the manufacturer's tradition of using precious metal plating to ensure long-lasting visibility in the water. The hardware remains sturdy, including the large treble hook and lead swivel. Showing only light surface marks, the specimen holds a condition rating of 4/5, preserving the integrity of its silver surfaces and the sharp stamp of the Williams brand.
