Museum Archive: ​Luhr Jensen , 1/2oz spinning lure #16427

Blue beads flank the dark, textured oval body of this vintage spinner, creating a distinct visual contrast against the polished metallic blade. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure is built on a 2 1/4" (6 cm) wire frame that terminates in a sturdy, bronze-finished treble hook. The construction highlights the utilitarian design common to American-made tackle from this period, prioritizing durability for casting. This specific specimen, identified by Product Code 16427, is unused and remains in its original factory blister packaging, which features the classic red and yellow Luhr Jensen branding. A vintage price sticker on the front card provides a glimpse into its retail history, while the overall assembly reflects the Hood River, Oregon manufacturing standards of the time. Every component, from the wire loops to the weighted body, is tightly secured for heavy-duty use.
