Museum Archive: Glen Evans Loco, 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #0810

Boasting a vibrant blue finish against a nickel-plated body, this specimen showcases the classic design of the Glen Evans Loco. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 2 in (5 cm) in length, the spoon features a distinct silver checkered pattern on its head. Produced in Caldwell, Idaho, by Glen L. Evans, Inc.—a division of the Gladding Corporation—this specific model with product code 0810 represents the brand's history before the Loco design was later manufactured by Luhr Jensen. As an unused item, the lure maintains its original factory luster, while the vintage card packaging shows some characteristic shelf wear from long-term storage. The hardware consists of a single treble hook attached to the tail via a stainless split ring.
