Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Little jewel, 1/4oz Orange / Hologram / Gold fishing spoon #0827

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this Luhr Jensen classic shows the character of a lure that has seen plenty of water. The teardrop-shaped body measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and features a vibrant orange perimeter surrounding a textured hologram center designed to catch and flash available light. On the underside, the brass-colored base is deeply stamped with the "LITTLE JEWEL" name alongside the iconic Luhr Jensen diamond logo and a "USA" origin mark. While the orange paint shows a significant honest wear pattern across the metal surface, it speaks to the long history of this discontinued model. Rated at 3/5, the specimen retains its original hardware, including a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail. Identified by product code 0827, this spoon was a staple in the Luhr Jensen lineup before being retired from production years ago.
