Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Cyclone, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #14340

Gold plating on this 1/8 oz (4.3 g) spoon provides a high-visibility base for the alternating red and white hand-painted dots. Measuring exactly 1 1/4" (3 cm), the Thomas Cyclone features a distinct embossed scale pattern across its convex surface. Flipping the lure over reveals a crisp stamp displaying the Thomas brand name, the USA origin, and the S514 model number. This specific specimen, cataloged as product code 14340, is equipped with a darkened treble hook secured by a robust split ring. Thomas Spinning Lures has a long history of producing these reliable casting lures for trout and panfish enthusiasts. The condition is rated 5/5, as the metallic finish remains bright and the painted accents are remarkably sharp.
