Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #5247

A hammered nickel finish creates a multi-directional flash that distinguishes this Luhr Jensen spoon from smoother varieties. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), this USA-manufactured piece carries a clear brand stamp on its smooth reverse side. The dimpled texture is engineered to break up light reflections, mimicking the natural shimmer of prey fish. Cataloged under product code 5247, the lure is equipped with a sharp treble hook and a single line-tie hole. The condition is a solid 4/5, exhibiting light handling marks that testify to its history without compromising the reflective quality of the nickel plating. This specific teardrop profile is a staple for anglers targeting a variety of freshwater and saltwater species.
