Museum Archive: Vintage Herter's GLH Canadian Spoon , 1oz Nickel / Red Eyes fishing spoon #9142

A solid 1oz (28g) weight provides the necessary heft for this Herter's GLH Canadian Spoon to reach target depths effectively during a cast or troll. The polished nickel finish remains bright across the 4 1/4" (11cm) length, complemented by two red faceted beads that act as eyes, a unique construction detail where they are wired directly through the metal. Stamped clearly on the blade is the "GLH CANADIAN" identifier, associated with product code 9142 from the famed Herter’s brand. Originating from Japan, this specimen reflects the craftsmanship of mid-century metal manufacturing often found in classic American tackle catalogs. The original hardware, including the split ring and treble hook, is well-preserved, contributing to a condition rating of 5/5.
