Stamped clearly on the reverse side of this 3/4oz (21g) spoon is the 'MADE IN CANADA' mark, signifying its production after the brand's manufacturing shifted entirely north in 1978. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.3 cm) in length, this Williams Wabler, identified by Product Code 22373, features a brilliant gold finish that has been a standard for the brand since its early 20th-century beginnings. The defining characteristic is the raised longitudinal rib running down the center, a design element engineered specifically to provide stability during casting or trolling. Its hardware is robust, featuring a brass-colored barrel swivel at the head and a silver-toned treble hook secured by a split ring. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing very light signs of handling while maintaining a strong, reflective shine across the metal surface. Originally designed in 1914, the Wabler's construction is intended for targeting aggressive predators like pike and zander. The concave side remains clean, highlighting the crisp 'WILLIAMS' and 'WABLER' stampings that collectors look for.
