Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 3/16oz Bronze (Brass) / Red / Yellow fishing spoon #0916

A vibrant pattern of yellow, red, and black dots decorates the bronze surface of this American-made spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the weight of 3/16oz (5g) along with the classic Thomas Buoyant and 'REG US PAT OFF' markings. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, this specimen is cataloged under product code 0916. The lure's distinct silhouette includes a bold red-painted edge along the side, providing a sharp contrast against the bronze (brass) body. Built in the USA, the design features a split ring at the rear holding a treble hook. Rated at 4/5, the finish and hand-applied paint retain their integrity across the spoon's curved surface.
