Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond, 3/16oz gold fishing spoon #22917

Stamping a series of raised diamond-shaped patterns into the brass-toned metal body gives this Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond its iconic reflective surface. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the spoon features a bright gold finish that remains in excellent condition, showing off its classic American craftsmanship. This specific specimen, bearing product code 22917, weighs in at 3/16oz (5.5g), making it a versatile choice for casting or trolling in various light conditions. The single hook is securely fastened with a robust split ring, a testament to the durable hardware Luhr Jensen utilized for their USA-made rarities. The surface is clean and well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Reflections dance off the faceted geometry of the diamond-scale finish, which was designed to mimic the flash of baitfish scales.
