Stamped clearly into the brass surface is the "HERTER'S GLH CANADIAN SPOON" identifier, marking this as a genuine piece of mid-century angling history. This 1/3oz (10g) lure features a classic teardrop profile measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length. Three vibrant red beads are meticulously pinned through the head on each side, serving as high-visibility eyes that contrast against the brass. Flip the spoon over to find a small "JAPAN" stamp near the top, a detail tied to Herter's post-war production sourcing. The metal surfaces are extremely clean, reflecting a condition rating of 5/5. All hardware, including the original treble hook and split ring, remains factory-solid. For those documenting the Herter’s legacy, this specific item is categorized under product code 10533. The structural curve of the spoon makes it a traditional choice for casting or trolling in various water conditions.
