Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #2, 1oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #4653

Five bold red diamonds set against a bright yellow finish mark a design that has been a staple in tackle boxes since the company began production in 1929. Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this Len Thompson #2 (product code 4653) is built with a thickness that supports its signature slow wobbling action when retrieved. The back of the lure features a clear stamp identifying it as a 'LEN THOMPSON NO. 2,' showing the brass-colored base metal beneath. In a condition rated 5/5, the paint remains crisp and the hardware, including the original treble hook, is well-preserved. This 3 1/4" (8cm) specimen is a testament to the brand's reputation for balance, making it a reliable choice for casting or trolling in deeper waters where salmon and steelhead often roam.
