Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #2, 1oz Five of Diamonds (Red / Yellow / Brass) fishing spoon #2520

Weighing in at a substantial 1oz (28g), the solid brass body of this Canadian classic provides the heft needed for deep presentations and long-distance casting. This Len Thompson #2, identified by product code 2520, showcases the famous Five of Diamonds pattern with five red diamonds set against a high-visibility yellow background. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.25 cm), the spoon is preserved in 5/5 condition, with the vibrant paint on the face and the polished brass reverse remaining in excellent state. The back of the spoon is clearly stamped with the "LEN THOMPSON NO. 2" mark, a hallmark of a brand that has been a staple in northern tackle boxes since 1929. For hardware, it utilizes a heavy-duty single hook secured by a sturdy split ring, a configuration often preferred by anglers for easier catch-and-release or for fishing through heavy cover. The combination of the painted front and the natural brass flash on the back is a time-tested design meant to capture the attention of pike, salmon, and lake trout.
