Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Special Spinner, 1/4oz spinning lure #15564

Stamped with the weight 1/4 OZ and the designation SS03 directly on its teardrop blade, this vintage inline spinner showcases the functional elegance of mid-century American tackle. The body is constructed from solid brass, featuring a distinct bullet-shaped head followed by three graduated beads that provide a total weight of 1/4 oz (7 g). A bi-metal finish gives the blade a two-tone appearance, split between a bright gold polish and a muted silver tone. A single translucent red bead is positioned at the head, acting as a focal point between the blade clevis and the weighted body. This specific Thomas Special Spinner, identified by product code 15564, is fitted with its original bronzed treble hook. Given its 5/5 condition rating, the metallic surfaces remain bright, and the Thomas Special Spinn lettering is perfectly preserved.
