Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #1, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #3531

A brilliant Nickel finish defines the classic profile of this 3/4 oz (21 g) casting spoon, a staple for anglers since the brand's inception in 1929. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the Len Thompson #1 features a heavy-gauge body designed for durability against the sharp teeth of northern pike. The concave backside is clearly stamped with the "LEN THOMPSON NO. 1" maker's mark, confirming its pedigree among Canadian-made tackle collectors. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, presenting a bright, reflective surface and sturdy hardware. Attached via a strong split ring, the treble hook is well-suited for trolling or casting applications targeting lake trout and salmon. Recognized for a slow wobbling action that mimics a steady baitfish, this specific nickel variation is recorded under product code 3531.
