Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Little Jewel, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #9085

Hammered nickel finishes like the one found on this spoon were expertly crafted to scatter light in various directions while submerged. Weighing 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this Luhr Jensen "Little Jewel" is a vintage model that has been out of production for many years. This specific specimen, carrying product code 9085, is rated 5/5 for its condition, presenting a clean and reflective surface on both the textured front and the polished reverse. The back is clearly stamped with the model name, a jewel icon, and the Luhr Jensen USA mark, indicating its domestic manufacturing heritage. It comes rigged with a factory split ring and barrel swivel at the head, paired with a silver-tone treble hook at the trailing edge. The depth of the stamping remains sharp, contrasting beautifully against the smooth metal of the spoon's underside.
