Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas EEL, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #3084

Nickel-plated surfaces provide a traditional high-flash appearance for this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) lure, making it a classic example of American metalwork. Cataloged under product code 3084, the Thomas EEL features two small blue painted dots near the line tie that serve as eyes. On the reverse, the "THOMAS EEL" name and "MADE IN USA" origin are clearly stamped into the metal. This 1/8oz (4g) spoon retains a 5/5 condition rating, with the nickel finish showing its original luster and the treble hook remaining firmly attached via a split ring. The metal's deliberate S-shaped profile is a key construction feature for casting.
