Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon Jr Lightning (50s), 1/4oz red/white/nickel fishing spoon #21860

Stamped clearly on the polished nickel reverse, the "FIORD SPOON" name and distinctive lightning bolt logo mark this 1/4oz (7g) specimen as a genuine piece of Acme history. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the lure features a striking red face accented by a bold white lightning bolt graphic. This specific design, identified by product code 21860, hails from the USA during the 1950s and is a sought-after rarity since Acme no longer produces this particular line. The heavy-gauge metal construction was engineered for superior distance when casting or for maintaining depth during a vertical jigging presentation. Its original hardware remains intact, featuring a bright silver treble hook secured by a split ring. For a collector, the 5/5 condition is especially noteworthy, as the enameled front and the stamped nickel back have remained remarkably clean over the decades.
