Museum Archive: Thomas Little Tiger, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #9998

Stamped with the 'TIGER' moniker directly onto the gold-finished metal, this compact spoon represents a classic era of American tackle design. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.2 g) and measuring 1" (2.5 cm) in length, it remains preserved in its original yellow and green factory packaging. This Thomas Little Tiger, identified by product code 9998, features a bright gold finish designed to catch light during casting or trolling. The cardstock explicitly notes its origins, having been 'MADE IN U.S.A.' and intended for a wide variety of gamefish from panfish to salmon. As an unused specimen (Condition: 6), the lure retains its factory-new appearance, complete with the original dark treble hook and clear blister seal. A circular green logo in the lower left corner provides the brand's classic visual identity against the bright yellow background.
