Museum Archive: Vintage Wright & McGill Streamliner, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #17663

Stamped clearly into the metal on the concave side, the Wright & McGill brand name and model identification mark this 1/4oz (7g) classic. This Nickel-colored spoon, cataloged as product code 17663, shows the honest character of a seasoned tackle box veteran with its 4/5 condition rating. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the teardrop-shaped body features a polished finish on the convex side and a more textured, stamped surface on the interior. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring connecting a sharp-pointed treble hook to the wider tail end, while a single clean-punched hole at the narrow nose provides the attachment point for a line or swivel. Designed for casting in varied water conditions, the Streamliner represents the straightforward utility of mid-century American metal lures. The metal retains a bright, reflective quality across its surface, typical of high-quality nickel plating from the Denver-based manufacturer.
