Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures L1, 1 2/3oz fishing spoon #23144

Weighing in at a substantial 1 2/3 oz (45 g), this Atlantic Lures L1 is a classic example of American-made heavy metal for saltwater or deep freshwater applications. The chrome finish features a deeply embossed scale pattern across most of its 2 3/4" (7 cm) length, providing a highly reflective surface designed to mimic baitfish. Cataloged under product code 23144, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface that has been well-preserved over time. Dual split rings are fitted at both ends, with the rear ring carrying a single sharp treble hook for secure hooksets. The "L1" stamp is clearly visible on the lower portion of the lure's face. Originating from the USA, the solid construction reflects the manufacturer's reputation for producing durable, no-nonsense tackle meant for heavy casting or vertical jigging.
