Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Lil' Kroc (Krocodile Stubby), 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #12685

Nickel plating provides a clean, reflective surface for this 3/16oz (4.5g) Lil' Kroc, also known as the Krocodile Stubby. Produced by Luhr Jensen under product code 12685, the spoon measures 1 1/4" (3.2cm) and represents a compact variation of their iconic lure line. This specific item remains unused, preserved in its original vintage carding which highlights the manufacturer's roots in Hood River, Oregon. The packaging includes the 'Stubby' branding and the distinct crocodile illustration, showing the lure is equipped with a standard treble hook. On the reverse, the collector can find historical context via the original catalog order information and regional contact details for the USA and Canada.
