Stamped clearly into the brass reverse, the 'WRIGHT & McGILL 'PAY-MASTER' 1/4 OZ' marking confirms the American heritage of this casting spoon. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, the spoon displays a striking yellow and black scale pattern reminiscent of a honeybee, accented by two distinct white eyes at the head. The heavy brass construction provides the 1/4 oz (7g) weight necessary for distance casting. This specific model, listed under product code 1054, remains in solid 4/5 condition with the finish showing well-preserved vibrancy alongside its original gold-finished treble hook. Historically, Wright & McGill applied this textured scale finish to help catch light beneath the painted surface. The hardware, including the split ring and hook, is clean and securely attached.
