Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #6, 1/8oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #11269

A compact 1" (2.5cm) frame carries the unmistakable yellow and red Five of Diamonds finish on this Canadian classic. Weighing 1/8oz (3.5g), the Len Thompson #6 is designed with the balance that has defined the brand since 1929. The reverse side features the authentic maker’s mark stamped directly into the metal, identifying the model number and heritage. This specimen, assigned product code 11269, maintains its original vibrancy across the yellow enamel and five red diamond accents. Anglers often rely on these spoons for a slow wobbling action that mimics small baitfish during casting, trolling, or jigging for trout and pike. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring. Every aspect of this lure reflects the manufacturing standards established in Canada nearly a century ago. The condition of the specimen is rated 5/5, with the paint and metal remaining very clean.
