Museum Archive: Len Thompson #2, 1oz Red / Black / Brass fishing spoon #2841

A vibrant red-orange finish accented with bold black dots defines the face of this classic Canadian spoon. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, the Len Thompson #2 (Product Code 2841) is built with a heavy brass substrate that tips the scales at 1oz (28g). This manufacturer has been crafting lures in Canada since 1929, focusing on a weight distribution that produces a slow wobbling action during casting or trolling. On the reverse, the polished brass back is cleanly stamped with the model identifier. This specimen is unused, presenting in its original state without the wear typical of fished tackle. A stout treble hook is secured via a split ring, providing the necessary strength for landing pike, lake trout, or salmon.
