Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Gator , 1 2/3oz nickel/chartreuse fishing spoon #23465

Weighing in at a substantial 1 2/3 oz (45g), this Lindy Gator provides the heft needed for deep-water presentations. Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm) in length, the spoon features a classic nickel/chartreuse color scheme, with the bright chartreuse paint applied in a splash-like pattern over a polished nickel base. A black-and-yellow target eye is positioned at the wider end near the line-tie hole, adding a distinct focal point to the profile. Produced in the USA by Lindy / Little Joe, this rarity (Product Code 23465) showcases the solid construction the brand is known for, with a clean, unpainted nickel reverse side to maximize flash. It is equipped with a large, dark-finished treble hook secured by a split ring at the narrower end. The condition of this specific specimen is 4/5, showing a well-preserved finish and strong hardware.
