Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile, 1/4oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #15453

Stamped with the "LUHR JENSEN KROCODILE" mark on its high-polish reverse, the spoon represents a staple in many vintage tackle boxes. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this compact 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) specimen features a heavy-gauge nickel body that provides significant density for its small profile. The front face is dressed with a vibrant green scale-patterned tape inlay, designed to catch light against the polished nickel metal. It comes rigged with a robust treble hook and a barrel swivel attached via split rings, facilitating its use for both casting and trolling. Looking over this particular piece, the condition is 5/5, showing clean surfaces and well-preserved hardware. This specific model, identified by product code 15453, uses a narrow, thick-metal design that helps the lure reach depth efficiently while producing a steady wobble during retrieval.
