Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 3/16oz Trout fishing spoon #3871

Originating from the USA, this classic metal spoon features a vibrant Trout pattern meticulously applied over a polished silver base. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this Thomas Buoyant is a quintessential piece for light-tackle enthusiasts. The finish is decorated with a series of yellow, red, and black dots, complemented by a distinct red paint stripe along the side edge. Flipping the lure over reveals a clean, stamped back clearly marked with the manufacturer's name, the weight, and the country of origin. This specimen, assigned product code 3871, remains in 5/5 condition with the paint and metal finish showing minimal signs of its age. A bronze-finished treble hook is securely attached via a sturdy split ring, ready for casting or light trolling setups.
