I don't even know the brand. It's about 5 inches long, silver and at least 3/4 ounce.

I have some older hammered Hopkins style spoons in gold and silver that were my wife's grandfather's, so they're at least 50-60 years old. Also have some gold and silver Johnson spoons I've used for redfish.

I added a SPRO bearing swivel to the split ring. No twist at all. Chubby Checker would be upset.
