T.I. Thompson Ltd.

T.I. Thompson
Owen Sound, Ontario

     Yet again, we have another Ontario company with no historical reference or information available in magazines or fishing related articles.  It appears these large trolling spinners were patented in February of 1910 by a T.I. Thompson of Owen Sound, Ontario.  They are large arrow head style aluminum spinners that would be sure to create a spectacle underwater.  Please let me in on any information you are able to discover on this tackle producer. 

 

T.I. Thompson Trolling Lure

Not the best picture of this spinner, but I think you get the idea.  The spinner is about 6" in length, and a long brass shaft runs vertical from the bottom to the top.

The information at the base of the T.I. Thompson spinner reads "Pat. Feb. 1910/Manufactured By/T.I. Thompson Ltd./Owen Sound"
