Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Strike Gold Red Flash, 3/4oz Brass fishing spoon #1840

Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, this brass-finished spoon represents a fascinating era of Canadian tackle manufacturing. Secured with metal pins, the two wooden eyes are a standout feature of the Lucky Strike Gold Red Flash, product code 1840, adding a tactile, three-dimensional element to the stamped metal body. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), the lure's heavy gauge provides a solid feel for casting. The manufacturer's hallmark is clearly visible, stamped into the center of the spoon between the ocular details. This specific specimen remains in 4/5 condition, showing well-maintained metal surfaces and a robust treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. Originating from Canada, the construction reflects the durable design philosophy typical of vintage Lucky Strike lures. The brass body provides a steady glint, while the red-tinted wooden beads offer a unique visual contrast not found on modern spoons.
