Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond, 1/4oz nickel/green fishing spoon #23711

Nickel-plated with a distinct diamond-embossed surface, the body of this spoon is designed to maximize light reflection from multiple angles. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the Alpena Diamond features a vibrant green accent stripe along one edge of the bright nickel finish. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 23711, weighs in at 1/4oz (7g) and represents a classic design from Luhr Jensen's USA-based manufacturing era. The construction includes a reliable single-hook setup secured by a split ring at the tail. Its condition is 5/5, exhibiting a clean, well-preserved luster across the textured metal surface. The embossed diamond pattern is a functional hallmark of this model, creating a multifaceted flash that remains prominent even in deeper water columns.
