Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3, 1/2oz nickel fishing spoon #22284

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the nickel finish on this Luhr Jensen Krocodile #3 remains exceptionally bright and reflective. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the spoon features the iconic branding stamped deeply into the metal on the concave side. This American-made specimen, cataloged under product code 22284, retains a condition rating of 5/5, showing no evidence of use or storage wear. The hardware consists of heavy-duty split rings at both the line tie and the tail, securing a bronze-finished treble hook. Collectors will note the crisp lettering of the "LUHR JENSEN KROCODILE" stamp, which is a signature detail of these vintage USA-produced spoons. The thick-gauge metal construction is tailored for long-distance casting and deep-water trolling applications.
