Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Cyclone, 1/4oz Silver fishing spoon #14770

Embossed with the distinct "THOMAS S515 1/4 OZ CYCLONE" stamp on its polished reverse, this spoon showcases the classic American manufacturing standards of Thomas Spinning Lures. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure features a silver finish with a deeply textured scale pattern designed to maximize light reflection. Small, strategically placed red paint accents are scattered across the convex face, providing a traditional color contrast to the metallic body. The hardware is comprised of a robust split ring and a sharp, bronzed treble hook attached to the rear. This particular specimen, identified by product code 14770, is in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably clean with its original plating and paint dots fully intact. A precision-drilled hole at the narrow end allows for easy connection to a snap or leader during casting or trolling sessions.
