Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Fighting fish, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #8619

Embossed scales cover the convex side of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon, providing a lifelike texture that enhances light flash during a retrieve. At a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), this gold Thomas Fighting Fish, cataloged under product code 8619, is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship. The reverse side remains smooth and carries the deep 'FIGHTING FISH' stamp, identifying its model name clearly against the polished gold finish. This specific lure maintains a 5/5 condition rating, with the plating and hardware remaining remarkably bright and functional. Its profile includes a flared fin design near the tail, which leads to the factory-original treble hook. The lure originates from the USA, reflecting the durable manufacturing standards often found in vintage Thomas hardware.
