Daiichi J-1411 is a looped-eye hook known here from one size 2 specimen. The model code and size come from a handwritten note beside the hook P; the photographs show no printed manufacturer marking.
No catalog entry or dated source is recorded for the model. Its production dates, country of manufacture and intended application are unrecorded.

Identification of the photographed specimen rests on a handwritten note, not on printed marks P. The note reads “Daiichi J·1411” over “Size: 2”, with a dot between the J and the digits. The last digits are hard to separate, so a printed package or catalog page is needed to confirm the code.
A box or card with a printed label would also settle the size, quantity per pack and country of manufacture, none of which the photographs record.
| Feature | Recorded | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Eye | Looped Eye, Straight / InlineShow noteHide noteLooped eye in line with the shank. The wire end curls back into a teardrop loop, its tapered tail lying along the shank with a thin slit between P. | OBS-1OBS-2 |
| Wire | Standard, Round | |
| Shank | 2X Long — Plain | |
| Bend | Limerick, Standard gapShow noteHide noteSmooth, continuous round bend with no angular transitions. The point returns toward the shank roughly parallel to it, leaving an open gap P. | OBS-4 |
| Point | Standard / SpearShow noteHide noteA single short barb is cut on the inside of the point, a short distance behind the tip P. | OBS-6 |
| Finish | Black Japanned — stated on packagingShow noteHide noteUniform glossy black finish over the whole hook, with bright reflections along the loop and bend P. No source names the finish process. | OBS-7 |
The photographed specimen has a straight, plain shank with no kinks, ridges or bends along its visible length P. A flat strip beside the shank marks the loop tail over roughly the last sixth of its length P.
The point tapers to a fine, needle-like tip and lies in the same plane as the shank and bend P. In the site’s silhouette comparison against the classified catalog, the bend position falls nearest the Carlisle family and the wire thickness nearest standard gauge I.

This record documents one specimen. It describes that specimen only, not every example of the model.
One hook lies loose on a plain sheet bearing the handwritten note, and on grid paper in the other two photographs. No manufacturer packaging, printed text, trademark, stamp or pencil mark is visible. The eye close-up and the grid photograph probably show the same hook as the one beside the note.

Size: 2
The photographed hook is intact, with no visible bends, rust, flaking or chips P. A few specks of dust or lint rest on the surface, and one fine fiber lies near the outside of the bend P.
