Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #00, 1/2oz Flag of Canada / Brass fishing spoon #15234

Dressed in the bold red and white of the Canadian flag, the enamel-painted maple leaf motif pays direct homage to the manufacturer's roots. The heavy brass base of this 1/2 oz (14 g) lure is stamped with the classic 'LEN THOMPSON No. 00' marking on its reverse side. Equipped with a sturdy single hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, the 2" (5 cm) profile provides a versatile size for targeting pike or lake trout. These spoons have been a staple in Canadian tackle boxes since production began in 1929, and the solid brass construction provides significant durability. Looking at the finish, the paint remains vibrant with minimal handling marks, earning a solid 5/5 condition rating. Listed under product code 15234, this specimen represents the mid-sized versatility the No. 00 series is known for. Whether cast into shallow weeds or trolled along rocky drop-offs, the weighted brass blank ensures reliable performance for the angler.
