Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond, 1/4oz nickel/green fishing spoon #22840

Diamond-shaped dimples stamped across the nickel-plated surface create a distinct reflective pattern on this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon. Luhr Jensen’s Alpena Diamond, cataloged under product code 22840, features a classic metallic finish accented by a vibrant green stripe along one edge. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this USA-made specimen is designed for casting or light trolling, where the textured facets are intended to catch and scatter light. The spoon is rigged with a single hook attached via a robust split ring, keeping the profile streamlined. This specific rarity is in 5/5 condition, showing a high level of preservation for the polished metal and the painted accent. The transition between the nickel and the green paint is crisp, showcasing the craftsmanship typical of vintage Luhr Jensen production.
