Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #6, 1/8oz Red / White / Brass fishing spoon #11754

Stamping on the brass underside identifies this specimen as a Canadian-made Len Thompson No. 6. Measuring 1" (2.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this diminutive spoon is a versatile choice for casting or trolling. The front face features a classic color scheme of a red diagonal stripe over a white base, a pattern that has been a staple since the brand’s inception in 1929. This particular lure is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and a clean brass finish on the reverse. Len Thompson spoons are recognized for a slow wobbling action designed to mimic small baitfish. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring at the rear and a pre-drilled line tie at the head.
