Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Colorado, 3/16oz copper fishing spoon #19039

A weight of 3/16 oz (5.3 g) gives this teardrop spoon the density needed for accurate casting into light winds. This Thomas Colorado model, identified by product code 19039, is finished in polished copper and features a crisp scale pattern embossed on the convex surface above a diagonal "COLORADO" stamp. Turning the lure over reveals the concave side, which carries the traditional Thomas Spinning Lures eagle logo and a stamped weight marking of 1/6 oz. Proudly manufactured in the USA, the hardware consists of a dark-finished treble hook secured by a resilient split ring. The copper finish remains bright and well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 5/5. This classic spoon is primarily used for casting or trolling in various freshwater environments.
