Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Cherry Bobber, 1/16oz Hammered Nickel / Red spinning lure #14165

Hammered nickel finishes on small spinners like this one provide a distinct visual flash that contrasts sharply with the solid red egg-shaped body. Weighing 1/16oz (2.2g), this Luhr Jensen Cherry Bobber is a testament to the brand's American manufacturing heritage, specifically carrying the product code 14165. The overall length measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm), showcasing a compact design traditionally favored for stream fishing. Upon close inspection, the blade is clearly stamped with the Luhr Jensen branding, highlighting the textured hammered metalwork. The hardware is in 5/5 condition, featuring a clean treble hook and an integrated barrel swivel at the top of the wire form. The red finish on the central body remains vibrant, while the wire frame maintains its original alignment.
