Museum Archive: Vintage Sølvkroken, 1/4oz fishing spoon #17664

Seven black dots arranged in a domino-like pattern provide sharp contrast against the vibrant fluorescent orange finish of this Norwegian-made spoon. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 1 1/4" (3cm) in length, the lure bears the distinct manufacturing hallmarks associated with Sølvkroken under product code 17664. The coating shows its effectiveness in the second image, where the high-vis pigment glows intensely under UV light, a feature intended to trigger strikes in deep or stained water. Small signs of use are visible as minor paint loss around the edges and eyelets, though the overall presentation remains very clean, earning a 4/5 condition rating. It comes equipped with a sturdy split ring and a bronzed treble hook that retains its original profile. The teardrop shape is a staple of Scandinavian metal lures, designed for efficient casting and reaching specific depths in freshwater environments.
