Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring , 1/4oz Perch / Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #4857

Hammered nickel texture on one side of this 1 1/2" (4cm) slab catches light from every angle, mimicking the shimmer of a panicked baitfish. This Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring, bearing product code 4857, features the classic Perch color pattern with green-barred yellow accents over a silver base. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7g), the metal body is stamped directly with its weight and the "C.H." initials, ensuring you always know which tool you are grabbing for jigging applications. Manufactured in the USA, the lure is equipped with a sturdy single hook secured by a split ring, a hardware configuration designed for reliable hooksets. A simple, focused eye detail sits near the nose, providing a subtle target point. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing the vibrant paint and clean metal surfaces expected of a well-preserved vintage piece.
