Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Finsel, 1/3oz Gold / Blue fishing spoon #4530

Tipping the scales at 1/3oz (10g), this Lindy Finsel spoon features a classic gold-plated finish accented by a vibrant blue holographic stripe. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the teardrop-shaped body is a hallmark of the Lindy / Little Joe manufacturing tradition. This specific specimen, identified by product code 4530, carries a painted yellow eye with a black pupil positioned near the top split ring. The terminal tackle consists of a sharp treble hook dressed with blue tinsel flash, held in place by a dual-toned turquoise and gold-colored collar. Crafted in the USA, the metal body reflects the high-quality plating techniques used by Lindy-Little Joe during this era. Its condition is rated at 4/5, showing a clean, well-preserved surface that maintains its original shine across the metal and the decorative tape. A stamped brand mark is located on the inner concave side of the lure, ensuring its authenticity for collectors.
