Museumarchief: Marathon Marathon Lepel, Goud / Nikkel, 14g, Prismatape, #9489

Gleaming with a dual-finish design, this 2 3/4" (7 cm) spoon features a gold-plated front face complemented by a polished nickel reverse. Stamped into the silver-colored backside is the bold 'MARATHON' maker's mark, a hallmark of the Wisconsin-based Marathon Bait Company that operated from 1929 to 1979. A prominent geometric holographic prism tape is centered on the gold side, catching light from multiple angles for increased visibility. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure is robustly constructed for casting or trolling and comes equipped with an original silver-tone treble hook. Listed under product code 9489, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, displaying a bright surface that reflects its high-quality American heritage.
