Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Gator , 1 2/3oz nickel/yellow/red fishing spoon #23584

Tipping the scales at 1 2/3 oz (45g), this substantial spoon by Lindy / Little Joe represents a classic piece of American angling history. The 4.5" (11.5 cm) metal body features a bold nickel, yellow, and red color scheme, officially listed under product code 23584. Looking closely at the finish, the vibrant red paint is overlaid with a thick, flowing yellow center that tapers toward the top split ring. Near the bottom edge, a distinct black and yellow target eye provides a striking visual contrast. Manufactured in the USA, the heavy-gauge metal construction is designed for targeting larger predators. The hardware consists of a robust split ring paired with a large treble hook. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, displaying slight paint loss at the very tips and around the attachment points where the base metal is visible under the enamel.
