Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #7, 3/16oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #11533

Five red diamonds are sharply stenciled against a vibrant yellow enamel, creating the iconic "Five of Diamonds" pattern that has made these Canadian spoons famous since 1929. This specimen is a Len Thompson #7, measuring 1 1/4" (3.4 cm) and weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g). The reverse side features a bright brass finish, deeply stamped with the maker's mark "LEN THOMPSON No.7" to signify its authentic heritage. Designed for a variety of techniques including casting and trolling, the lure is equipped with a clean, silver-tone treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. Registered under product code 11533, the spoon is in 5/5 condition, retaining a smooth surface and high-contrast paint. The compact profile is specifically weighted to mimic the presence of small baitfish in the water column.
