Museum Archive: Vintage Unknown Zip Flatlure, 1 1/2oz Silver fishing spoon #1694

Stamping a distinct scale pattern across its metal body, this 1 1/2 oz (44g) Zip Flatlure serves as a stout piece of American-made vertical jigging hardware. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the lure features a polished Silver finish that highlights the textured surface. The embossed "FLATLURE" and "TRADE MARK" lettering remains crisp on the side of the metal, identifying this specific US-produced model under product code 1694. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright surface and well-preserved hardware including the original split rings. A single treble hook is attached at the tail, intended for deep-water jigging or long-distance casting techniques.
