Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Cyclone, 1/8oz Rainbow Red Trout / Gold fishing spoon #5819

Embossed scale textures across the convex side provide a distinct tactile surface for this 1 1/4" (3 cm) spoon. Finished in a Rainbow Red Trout / Gold pattern, the lure displays a gold base that transitions into a vibrant red, punctuated by alternating orange and black dots. This Thomas Cyclone, cataloged as product code 5819, is manufactured from a brass blank that features the manufacturer name and "S514" stamped on the reverse alongside a "1/6 oz" mark, though the official weight is listed at 1/8 oz (4.3 g). Made in the USA, the specimen is rigged with a durable treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. The condition is rated 5/5, showing a clean factory finish with no evidence of field use or hardware oxidation. An additional attachment point at the head is left open for a direct tie or snap, common for lures intended for precision casting.
