Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #0, 3/5oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #15108

Yellow paint and five distinct red diamonds define the face of this classic Canadian spoon. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g), this No. 0 model carries the legacy of Len Thompson, whose lures have been crafted since 1929. On the reverse, the brass surface is clearly stamped with the 'LEN THOMPSON NO. 0' identifier, a hallmark of the manufacturer's commitment to balanced metalwork. This specific 15108 product code item wears the legendary Five of Diamonds pattern, a finish favored by pike and lake trout hunters for nearly a century. The hardware includes a reliable treble hook and split ring assembly, contributing to its functionality for trolling, jigging, or casting. Its condition is rated a clean 5/5, showing the longevity of the materials used in production. The design was engineered to mimic the presence of a small minnow through a slow wobbling movement.
