Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas EP Spinn, 3/16oz Copper spinning lure #15375

Five stacked brass-tone beads comprise the weighted body of this vintage Thomas EP Spinn, which weighs 3/16oz (4.5g) according to its technical specifications. The 2" (5 cm) blade features a gold finish over its copper base, decorated with a traditional pattern of alternating red and black spots. Stamped clearly on the reverse side are the "THOMAS" brand name and the "1/8 OZ" weight class, highlighting the detailed American manufacturing process for this model. This specimen, assigned product code 15375, is in 5/5 condition, showing very clean metallic surfaces and vibrant, intact paint. A small red plastic attractor bead is positioned just behind the clevis on the wire frame. The lure is equipped with a bronzed treble hook at the rear, making it a classic choice for casting in freshwater streams and lakes.
