Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 1/2oz Nickel / Red / Yellow / Black fishing spoon #4769

Nickel plating provides a bright, reflective foundation for this American-made spoon, which is decorated with a series of red, yellow, and black dots across its surface. Stamped clearly on the reverse side are the identification marks 'T104', 'THOMAS BUOYANT', and the '1/2 OZ' weight designation. This specific specimen, cataloged under Product Code 4769, measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighs 1/2 oz (14 g). The body design includes a subtle embossed gill plate near the line tie and a vibrant red accent along the lower edge. It comes equipped with a vintage-style bronze treble hook secured by a split ring. This lure is unused and remains in 5/5 condition, showing the original factory finish without wear. Primarily utilized for casting and trolling, its solid metal construction is designed for reaching specific depths effectively.
