Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile #5, 1oz Hammed Nickel fishing spoon #21241

The hammered nickel finish on this 1 oz (28 g) spoon provides a distinct textured surface that diffuses light differently than a standard smooth polish. Luhr Jensen, an iconic American manufacturer, stamped the "KROCODILE" name and their brand mark deeply into the concave side of the metal. Identified by product code 21241, this #5 model measures exactly 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) and represents a classic design used for decades in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The build quality reflects its USA origins, featuring a heavy-gauge body designed to hold its depth during a steady retrieve. Each component, from the large treble hook to the nose-mounted swivel, shows no wear, earning this specimen a 5/5 condition rating. The split rings are tight and the metal remains lustrous across the entire surface.
