Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #2, 1oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #14916

Five distinct red diamonds painted against a vibrant yellow background define the iconic pattern found on this classic Canadian lure. With a condition rating of 5/5, the finish on this specimen remains remarkably crisp, reflecting the high-quality materials Thompson-Pallister Bait Co. Ltd. has utilized since 1929. The reverse side reveals the 'LEN THOMPSON NO. 2' stamping clearly etched into the brass, identifying its size and heritage. This spoon measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length and weighs 1 oz (28 g), providing the substantial mass required for casting or trolling in deeper waters. A sturdy treble hook is attached via a split ring, complementing the lure's reputation for a slow wobbling action designed to trigger strikes from predatory pike and lake trout.
