Stamped clearly into the concave back is the "HOT SHOT W PAT. PEND." mark, identifying this as an early production piece from Luhr Jensen's USA facility. This specific model, product code 1055, features a classic Nickel / Black finish with three distinct black dots accentuating its curved metal profile. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g) and measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, the lure is a compact example of the brand's mid-century casting and trolling designs. The hardware consists of a single treble hook attached via a split ring, showing some age-related oxidation and darkening that speaks to its history. The nickel plating retains much of its original luster, while the black paint on the convex side shows minor wear, earning a solid 4/5 condition rating. Collectors of Northwest fishing history often look for these specific "Pat. Pend." stamps as a hallmark of early craftsmanship before the brand's later expansions.
