Stamped with the "HERTER'S G.L.P. CANADIAN SPOON" mark on its polished gold surface, this piece represents a classic era of American tackle distribution. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) with a length of 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the spoon utilizes a distinct teardrop profile. A unique design feature includes the three vibrant red bead eyes recessed into the narrow end of the blank, providing a clear focal point against the gold finish. Produced in Japan during the post-WWII reconstruction period for the famous Minnesota-based outdoors supplier, this lure reflects the manufacturing history of that era. The hardware is comprised of a silver-tone treble hook and split rings at both ends for casting or trolling applications. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright, reflective surface and clean components. Collectors can identify this specific item by Product Code 10681.
