Museum Archive: Vintage Sølvkroken Spesial Classic , 1/8oz Silver / Red fishing spoon #5934

Stamped clearly on the reverse side with "SØLVKROKEN NORWAY," this spoon represents a staple of Scandinavian lure design. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g) and measuring 1" (2.5 cm), the metal body features a bright silver finish adorned with nine hand-painted red dots on its convex side. This specimen, assigned product code 5934, remains in 4/5 condition with the metallic surface showing light, honest signs of use while remaining bright and clean. Its compact teardrop shape is paired with original hardware, including two split rings and a bronze-finished treble hook. These specific color patterns and stamps are characteristic of Sølvkroken's mid-century production for trout and perch fishing. The stamped lettering is deep and legible, a small detail often sought by collectors of European metalware.
