Museum Archive: Thomas Cyclone, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #22042

Gold plating highlighted by a pattern of alternating red and white dots defines the finish of this vintage metal spoon. Tipping the scales at 1/4 oz (7g), the Thomas Cyclone features a distinct embossed scale texture on its convex side. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the lure remains in its original yellow carded packaging, identified by Product Code 22042. Factory-fresh condition is evident as the specimen remains unused, preserving its original luster and hardware integrity. Produced by Thomas Spinning Lures, Inc. in Hawley, Pennsylvania, the construction includes a stout bronze treble hook attached via a split ring. The packaging lists a wide range of target species, from trout and salmon to bass and walleye, intended for use with both casting and trolling techniques. A clear 'Made in U.S.A.' mark is printed at the bottom of the display card.
