This lot features a Winchester trolling fishing lure marked "Winchester Trade Mark Made in U.S.A. 9591" on the brass spoon. The lure consists of a large polished brass spoon body fitted with a red dressed treble hook assembly. The spoon form is elongated with a gently curved profile designed to create flash and vibration while trolling, attracting predatory game fish. A split ring is fitted at the forward end for attachment to the fishing line.
Winchester entered the sporting goods market in the early twentieth century, producing a wide range of fishing tackle, including lures, reels, rods, and accessories alongside their well known firearms and ammunition. Their fishing tackle was produced primarily between the 1920s and 1930s and has since become highly collectible among Winchester enthusiasts and fishing tackle collectors alike.
The lure retains its original brass body with visible patina and light wear from age and handling. The feather dressing remains present on the hook assembly. Markings on the spoon remain legible. This example represents a classic piece of Winchester branded fishing tackle from the company’s early expansion into outdoor sporting equipment.
