Measuring 2 1/4 inches (6 cm) in length, this classic gold-finished casting spoon carries the hallmark of post-war manufacturing for the famous American distributor. Three small red beads are wired through the upper portion of the blade near the top split ring, adding a point of visual contrast to the polished gold surface. The face is clearly stamped with "HERTER'S G.L.H. CANADIAN SPOON," and this specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean finish and well-preserved lettering. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure features a substantial silver treble hook attached via a robust split ring at the tail. Produced in Japan, this specific item, product code 11100, represents the mid-century era when Herter’s sourced high-quality tackle to fill their legendary mail-order catalogs.
