Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Strike, 1 2/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #14079

Measuring 4 3/4" (12cm) in length, this Lucky Strike spoon from Canada represents a classic era of heavy-metal hardware. The nickel finish over its brass body has developed an honest, worn appearance, particularly on the inner surface where the base metal is visible. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 14079, carries a weight of 1 2/3 oz (45g), providing the density needed to reach significant depths during trolling or casting. Its construction features a single large treble hook secured by a heavy-duty ring at the base. While the plating shows signs of wear, resulting in a 3/5 condition rating, the structural integrity of the brass remains solid. Collectors often look for the stamped Lucky Strike marks on the concave side, which remain legible despite the surface wear. The simple teardrop shape and single line-tie hole at the nose are hallmarks of a design meant for steady retrieves when targeting large predators.
