Let me tell you, folks, when it comes to research I am the master of obsessive compulsivity (just ask my wife!)  So here's the bird's eye lowdown on Sutton spoons. 
They're made in a little shop in Naples New York where they gained a huge following in the Finger Lakes district - trout and Walleye.  The company is almost 100 years old but whoever's running it now doesn't seem to care much whether there is any stock or not. What distinguishes these lures is not only that they are paper thin (only around 1/16 oz.) but the superior quality of the silver plating and finish.  However,sometime over the last 10 years or so the company lost their plater and probably their interest in the business.  So finding Sutton flutter spoons is like finding hen's teeth.  I actually called the shop in Naples and they don't have a thing and probably won't until maybe the Fall (and even then, by the vagueness of their response to my questions, I'm guessing there won't be much.)
So then I went over to E-bay and there are some available for auction.  The prices can be reasonable or outrageous depending on God knows what.  But I managed to pick up a pretty good selection even though I paid used what they would cost new - if there were any.  I also picked up a few Miller spoons, which was a company out of Hamburg New York, whose spoons are of equal quality (that company is long gone.)
Plazma spoons are apparently garbage as are a number of other knock-offs.  The thing about Sutton and Miller spoons was the quality of the silver plate.  I'm told that nickel, which is what most of the knock offs are plated in, looks like a black blob at depth while the property of silver is such that it remains lively and attractive.  So they say.
There is one knock-off that is supposed to be decent - Mooselook Thinfish (the same company that makes Williams Wablers,) which uses precious metal plating, gold and silver.  Folks report that the finish isn't the same quality as the originals but still pretty good and pretty effective.

So there you go, more than you ever wanted to know about Sutton spoons.

Hey Kerry -- Nice job sleuthing out the Sutton story!  I hope your job involves research or analysis.

Just in case someone is interested in the Mooslook "Faux" Sutton spoon. Cabelas has them on sale.
