Museum Archive: Williams Wabler W60, 3/4oz Silver / Green (Silver Plated) fishing spoon #1764

Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), this heavy-duty spoon features the distinctive stabilizing ridge that runs down the center of its 3 1/4" (8.2cm) body. This central ridge is a hallmark of the Williams Wabler W60 series, engineered to maintain stability during various retrieval speeds. The finish on this specific specimen, identified by product code 1764, consists of a textured green scale pattern layered over a genuine silver-plated base. Williams has long utilized precious metal plating because of its unique reflective properties that differ from standard nickel or chrome finishes. Originating from Sherbrooke, Quebec, this lure remains in unused condition, still housed in its original retail packaging. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the base of the Silver / Green body. Every detail of the construction, from the stamped Canadian origin to the specific W60 sizing, highlights the manufacturing standards Williams has maintained for decades. The genuine silver plating covers the entire underside, providing a high-contrast flash against the painted top surface.
