Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fish Hawk, 1/3oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #6178

Featuring a distinctive hammered texture on its convex side, this 1/3 oz (10 g) spoon is a notable example of the discontinued Acme Fish Hawk, product code 6178. The gold-plated finish is accented by five recessed red dots that provide a visual contrast against the reflective surface. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the lure retains its original hardware, including a sharp treble hook and a swivel connected via robust split rings. This American-made classic reflects the manufacturing standards of Acme's catalog before this specific model became a rarity for collectors. The condition of this particular specimen is rated 5/5, with the gold plating remaining vivid and the red paint details sharp. The reverse side of the spoon is polished to a smooth, mirror-like gold finish.
