Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W40, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #19255

A textured gold finish provides this 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) spoon with a high-flash profile suitable for pike and zander. This Williams Wabler W40, bearing product code 19255, features the iconic longitudinal ridge that has stabilized this design since its inception in 1914. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), it is rigged with a treble hook and a top barrel swivel. Although the brand is historically celebrated for genuine silver plating, this gold-toned variation offers an alternative contrast for different water clarities. Since 1978, these lures have been manufactured exclusively in Canada, maintaining the standards established over a century ago. The lure is in 5/5 condition, displaying a bright metallic surface and robust hardware. Stamped branding on the face is sharp, indicating the quality of the strike used during the manufacturing process.
