Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen, 1/3oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #5814

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this Luhr Jensen spoon are a classic choice for catching light and creating flash. Measuring 2" (5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (9g), this USA-made spoon is identified by product code 5814 and stands out due to its 'sonic blade' configuration. Two small, oval metal tags are mounted via split rings to the base of the spoon, positioned alongside the treble hook to provide additional surface area and metal-on-metal contact. While the front of the lure is heavily dimpled to diffuse light, the reverse side maintains a high-polish smooth surface. Both sonic blades are clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark, matching the overall 5/5 condition of this well-maintained piece. The silver-toned hardware remains bright, and the treble hook shows no signs of use.
