Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W70, 1oz silver fishing spoon #19103

Silver plating defines the classic aesthetic of this specimen, a hallmark of the Williams brand that ensures a distinct flash underwater. Tipping the scales at 1oz (28g), this heavyweight lure is built for serious distance and depth. The signature raised longitudinal ridge provides the structural stability that has made the Wabler series a staple in tackle boxes since its serial production began in 1920. This particular Williams Wabler W70, identified by Product Code 19103, carries the legacy of Canadian manufacturing. Presenting in 4/5 condition, the silver finish is well-preserved, showing only the softest signs of its vintage age while maintaining a bright, reflective surface. The concave side features the distinctive 'WILLIAMS WABLER PATENTED' stamping, a detail valued by collectors. Equipped with a sturdy treble hook and a barrel swivel, this lure remains a functional choice for targeting large pike or walleye.
