Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Little Jewel, 3/16oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #14958

Hammered Nickel finish provides this specimen with a deeply textured surface, creating multiple facets for light reflection. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length and weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), the Little Jewel is a discontinued classic from the Luhr Jensen catalog, specifically identified here by product code 14958. This item is unused, preserved in its original blister pack which displays the company's dual heritage in Hood River, Oregon, and Vancouver, B.C. The packaging reverse bears a date stamp of 12-88, placing its distribution in the late eighties. The hardware consists of a polished metal body rigged with stainless split rings and a sharp treble hook. The Little Jewel name and manufacturer are stamped directly into the metal on the reverse side, a hallmark of the brand's attention to detail during this production period.
