Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 3/16oz Silver fishing spoon #15282

Red, yellow, and black dots adorn the polished silver surface of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) lure, providing a high-contrast pattern for visibility in the water. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), the spoon features a distinct fish-like profile with stamped gill details and a small eye near the nose. The back of the lure is clearly stamped with the Thomas Buoyant name and T101 designation, reflecting its heritage of USA manufacturing. A bronze-tone treble hook is connected via a sturdy split ring at the tail, while the head features a single eyelet for line attachment. This specific item, identified by product code 15282, presents a very clean and reflective finish throughout, resulting in a condition rating of 5/5. A subtle pink hue is visible along the top edge of the body, adding a touch of color to the silver plating. Small serrated indentations along the lower flank of the spoon simulate the appearance of scales.
