Museum Archive: Thomas Colorado, 3/16oz Gold / Nickel fishing spoon #2287

A two-tone coloration of polished nickel and gold defines the finish on this Thomas Colorado spoon, identified by product code 2287. Weighing 3/16oz (5g), the blade features an engraved half-scale pattern across the gold surface, designed to generate a specific flash when light hits the metal. This specimen is unused and remains in its original factory packaging, representing a 5/5 condition. Manufactured by Thomas Spinning Lures in the USA, the construction utilizes a jewelry-quality plating process that has been a hallmark of the brand's Pennsylvania operations for decades. The packaging includes a vibrant yellow backing card with detailed instructions for utilizing the lure's sinking movement in both river pools and lakes. A robust split ring connects the blade to the hook, ensuring the assembly remains secure during a retrieve.
