Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #2, 1oz Gold fishing spoon #3680

Stamped with the iconic 'LEN THOMPSON NO. 2' identifier on its concave side, this heavy brass spoon carries the heritage of a Canadian design first established in 1929. Weighing a solid 1 oz (28 g), the metal construction provides the necessary mass for long-distance casting or maintaining depth while trolling. The 3 1/4" (8 cm) body is finished in a high-lustre Gold that covers the entire teardrop-shaped surface, intended to replicate the flash of a fleeing baitfish. Labeled under product code 3680, this specimen is fitted with a durable split ring and a silver-finished treble hook. The design is historically noted for producing a slow wobbling action, a characteristic that remains a standard for pike and lake trout anglers. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, displaying a brilliant, reflective surface free of scratches or oxidation. The upper eyelet is cleanly formed, ensuring a smooth connection point for your leader or snap.
