Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W70, 1oz Gold fishing spoon #10713

A distinctive longitudinal ridge defines the profile of this 4" (10cm) gold-finished spoon. This Williams Wabler W70, identified by product code 10713, showcases the craftsmanship that began in Buffalo in 1914 before production centered in Canada. Weighing 1oz (28g), the heavy construction is plated in a rich gold tone, maintaining a 5/5 condition rating with a bright, clean surface. The stamped branding on the face remains sharp and legible, a testament to its quality manufacturing. This model is engineered to maintain stability during both fast and slow retrieve, a technical feat achieved through its unique structural ribbing. It comes equipped with a large treble hook and a lead swivel, intended for targeting large pike or walleye. Since 1978, these lures have been exclusively Canadian-made, and this specimen represents that long-standing heritage of metal-working excellence. The gold finish provides high visibility in various water conditions and remains in pristine state.
