Museum Archive: Vintage Worth Chippewa, 3/5oz nickel fishing spoon #22385

Weighing in at a solid 3/5 oz (17 g), this classic spoon features a high-luster nickel finish that provides significant flash for various casting and trolling techniques. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the Worth Chippewa (Product Code 22385) is built with a traditional teardrop profile, stamped from durable metal to withstand long days on the water. This specimen, manufactured in the USA by the Worth Company, displays a condition rating of 5/5, showing a remarkably clean surface and well-preserved plating. The hardware consists of a robust split ring connecting a sharp treble hook at the trailing edge, while the forward attachment point is cleanly drilled for a direct line tie. Its convex-concave geometry is a testament to the straightforward engineering of mid-century metal lures.
