Museum Archive: Thomas Colorado, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #0738

Glistening under the lights, the gold finish on this spoon features a distinct scale pattern stamped into the metal for added flash. This 1/4oz (7g) Thomas Colorado is a classic piece of American fishing history, identified by product code 0738. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm), the blade is rigged with a robust split ring and a sharp treble hook. This specimen is unused, still mounted on its original yellow display card which lists target species like trout, salmon, walleye, bass, and panfish. As a product made in the USA, the quality of the plating and the clarity of the scale stamping remain sharp and well-defined.
