Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W60, 3/4oz Hammered Silver fishing spoon #3824

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), the hammered silver finish on this Williams Wabler W60 provides a classic texture designed to reflect light across various depths. This specimen, identified by product code 3824, measures 2 1/2" (6.2 cm) and features the signature longitudinal rib that runs the length of the body, a technical element engineered to ensure stability during both fast and slow retrieves. Stamped into the metal on the reverse side, the "MADE IN CANADA" and "WABLER" marks confirm its authentic manufacturing heritage. The lure is finished with a genuine silver plating, a hallmark of the manufacturer used to maximize visibility when targeting pike or zander. Hardware includes a robust treble hook attached via a split ring, maintaining the lure's original configuration. This particular item is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface and well-preserved edges. The balance of the spoon is centered around that raised central ridge, which keeps the profile steady while casting or trolling through the water column.
