Stamped clearly into the polished nickel surface of the back, the 'THOMAS BUOYANT 1/2 OZ USA' mark confirms the heritage of this classic American spoon. At a length of 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighing 1/2oz (14g), this specimen carries a distinctive teardrop profile with an embossed fin detail that characterizes the Thomas brand. The finish is a bright nickel plating accented by a traditional pattern of red, yellow, and black dots on the convex side, along with a bold red paint application along one edge. This specific lure, identified by product code 4959, retains its original luster and shows a condition rating of 5/5. The hardware consists of a sturdy, bronzed treble hook attached via a robust split ring, suitable for casting or trolling for species like trout and salmon. A small line-tie hole is cleanly punched at the tapered head, ensuring a secure connection to the terminal tackle.
