Stamped clearly on the brass underside is the 'LEN THOMPSON No. 00' mark, identifying this Canadian-made classic. The top face features a muted forest green base decorated with seven distinct black spots, a pattern often utilized to mimic amphibians or baitfish. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the spoon is built from solid brass, a material choice the manufacturer has used since 1929 to ensure specific balance. This weight distribution allows for a slow wobbling movement during the retrieve. The hardware is comprised of a single treble hook attached by a split ring at the tail, while a line-tie hole sits at the tapered nose. Cataloged under product code 3217, the specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint on the top and a bright, clean brass finish on the reverse. Casting or trolling with this spoon is a traditional method for targeting pike, salmon, and lake trout.
