Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 3/4oz Trout / Silver fishing spoon #4613

Stamped clearly on the concave reverse, the 3/4oz (21g) weight designation confirms this is one of the larger variations in the Thomas lineup. This particular specimen, identified by product code 4613, features the iconic Trout / Silver finish over a sleek, fish-shaped body. The silver-plated surface is decorated with a distinct pattern of red, black, and yellow dots, anchored by a prominent red eye and gill accents near the nose. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm), the spoon shows no signs of wear, earning a 5/5 condition rating with its original plating and vibrant paint still crisp. Its heavy-duty construction is typical of American-made tackle from this era, complete with a sturdy treble hook attached via a reliable split ring. The "THOMAS BUOYANT MADE IN U.S.A." engraving remains sharply defined.
