Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #6, 1/8oz fishing spoon #11312

Stamped clearly on the brass-colored reverse side is the 'LEN THOMPSON NO. 6' marking, identifying this petite spoon's heritage. This Canadian-made lure, carrying product code 11312, features a classic white finish accented by a bold diagonal red stripe across its face. Measuring exactly 1" (2.5 cm) in length and weighing a light 1/8 oz (3.5 g), the spoon is built on a solid brass base. The hardware consists of a single silver-tone treble hook attached at the wider end via a sturdy split ring. Rated in 5/5 condition, the enamel and metal surfaces appear well-maintained and clean. Historically, these spoons are balanced for a slow wobbling motion, a technique used by anglers to mimic small minnows or baitfish since the brand's inception in 1929. A line-tie hole is cleanly punched at the narrow lead end of the spoon.
