Museum Archive: Vintage Sølvkroken Storlaksen ​, 1/2oz gold fishing spoon #22996

Stamped with the 'MADE IN NORWAY' hallmark on its concave side, the gold-plated surface reflects the heritage of Scandinavian salmon fishing. The 3 1/2" (9 cm) body of this Sølvkroken Storlaksen features a detailed scale pattern and a fish-eye engraving near the head. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (15 g), the spoon is built for distance casting and handling heavy current, paired with its original hardware including a barrel swivel and a sturdy treble hook. Identified by Product Code 22996, the lure's condition is a well-maintained 5/5, showing only the lightest evidence of its vintage. The name Storlaksen translates to 'The Big Salmon,' hinting at its intended target in the deep, cold rivers of its homeland.
