Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler, 2/3oz Silver (Silver plated) fishing spoon #1201

Hammered silver plating defines the surface of this classic Williams Wabler, a design choice that maximizes light reflection through its dimpled texture. Designated with product code 1201, this 3 1/4" (8.3 cm) spoon features the iconic raised longitudinal rib, a structural element engineered to maintain stability during both fast and slow retrieves. This 2/3 oz (18.9 g) specimen presents a very clean appearance with its genuine silver-plated finish, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Originally intended for targeting pike and walleye, the hardware includes a robust treble hook and a factory-attached swivel to manage line twist. This American-made lure showcases the durable plating and functional geometry that collectors associate with the Williams brand.
