Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Diamond King 4, 1/2oz Hammered Gold fishing spoon #2588

Hexagonal hammered patterns on the gold-plated body of this 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) spoon provide the signature flash synonymous with the Diamond King series. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the Luhr Jensen Diamond King 4 (Product Code 2588) is engineered for trolling, featuring a classic tapered profile that has been a standard in American tackle boxes for decades. The metal is stamped with the manufacturer and model names, including a distinct raised diamond emblem that serves as a focal point for the light-reflecting surface. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean finish across its entire surface from the front split ring down to the treble hook. Its construction relies on durable hardware intended to withstand the rigors of heavy freshwater use. The thin-gauge metal is paired with a dark-finished treble hook and heavy-duty split rings for reliable hooksets.
