Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/3oz Hammered Copper fishing spoon #14755

Hammered texturing across the copper surface gives this specimen a classic, light-scattering profile. Stamping on the reverse clearly identifies this as a Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, product code 14755. Its narrow, heavy-gauge design, originating from the USA, is engineered for distance casting and effective trolling depths. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body weighs 1/3 oz (10 g) and includes a front-end barrel swivel, a technical inclusion aimed at minimizing line twist. Showing light character from time, the metal and hardware maintain a 4/5 condition rating. The treble hook is attached via a sturdy split ring, ensuring the lure remains a functional piece of angling history. Deep engravings of the brand name on the polished back side contrast with the dimpled front face.
