Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon Jr Lightning (1950s), 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #22508

Weighing exactly 1/4 oz (7 g), this mid-century metal casting lure provides the density needed for the long-distance flight qualities Acme was known for in the 1950s. The 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) body of the Fiord Spoon Jr Lightning features a polished gold finish that remains vibrant, earning this specimen a solid 4/5 condition rating. Identifiable by product code 22508, the spoon is stamped with the "Fiord Spoon" name on its interior curve, a detail that marks it as a genuine American-made rarity from a discontinued production line. Designed for both traditional casting and jigging techniques, it was originally recommended for use with 8-10 lb line. The lure is equipped with a standard treble hook and a robust split ring, characteristic of the simple yet effective hardware used by the manufacturer during that era.
