Stamped clearly into the polished metal is the "Diamond King" moniker alongside the size number 5. This USA-manufactured lure features a distinctive honeycomb scale pattern across its surface, which creates a multi-faceted reflection in the water. Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the spoon offers a substantial profile suitable for trolling or heavy casting. The nickel finish is remarkably well-preserved, showing a 5/5 condition with a bright, consistent shine across the entire body. Its hardware is period-correct, featuring a sharp treble hook and heavy-duty split rings designed for targeting large game fish. Luhr Jensen's design philosophy is evident in the tapering shape, which transitions from a rounded nose to a wider tail section. The back of the spoon maintains the same high-quality plating as the front, highlighting the craftsmanship of this 11.5 cm (4 1/2") specimen.
