Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the hammered brass body of the Worth Chippewa Steel Spoon features a distinct red finish along the edges, creating a classic high-contrast look.

A clear 'MADE IN U.S.A.' stamp is pressed into the concave backside, confirming its domestic production history. With a condition rating of 5/5, the specimen retains a clean, well-preserved surface throughout its hammered texture. The hardware setup includes a standard treble hook attached via a split ring, suitable for various casting or trolling applications. Identified by product code 15777, the heavy steel construction ensured this lure could reach the desired depths effectively.
