Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond, 1/4oz Yellow / Black / Red fishing spoon #0452

Stamped with a series of distinctive raised diamond shapes across its surface, this 1/4 oz (6.5 g) spoon represents a classic design from Luhr Jensen's American manufacturing history. The finish features a bold, high-visibility contrast of yellow and red, accented by dark-painted diamond studs that add texture and visual depth to the presentation. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the Alpena Diamond is equipped with a sturdy single hook and exhibits a clean 5/5 condition, reflecting its careful preservation. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 0452, was engineered for trolling, an application where the Luhr Jensen brand established its reputation for reliable hardware. Flipping the lure over reveals a polished silver reverse side, highlighting the precision of the diamond stampings that give the piece its namesake profile.
