Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas EP Spinn, 1/4oz Copper spinning lure #3888

Seven graduated brass beads form the main body of this American-made spinner, which carries a total weight of 1/4 oz (7 g). This Thomas EP Spinn, identified by product code 3888, measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length and features an oval blade with a copper finish. The blade's front surface is decorated with a series of red and black polka dots, a signature look for Thomas Spinning Lures. A single small red bead acts as a bearing between the brass body and the blade clevis, while a treble hook is secured at the tail. The hardware remains bright and functional, earning this specimen a condition rating of 5/5. This USA-manufactured lure is designed with an integrated top swivel to assist with line management during casting.
