Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Speedy Shiner, 3/16oz Frog fishing spoon #3891

Stamped clearly on the gold-plated reverse side of this trolling spoon is the "THOMAS" logo alongside a fish icon and the model designation. This specific Thomas Speedy Shiner, identified by product code 3891, features a classic Frog finish on its convex face. The base is a deep forest green, accented by a yellow crackle texture and five distinct red dots bordered in yellow. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length and weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), its slender profile is engineered for precision trolling. The concave back side is finished in polished gold, creating a bright contrast against the painted front. It remains in 5/5 condition, with the enamel paint and plating maintaining their original clarity. A sturdy treble hook is attached via a split ring at the tail, while the nose features an additional split ring for line connection.
