Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fish Hawk, 3/16oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #6562

A 3/16oz (5g) weight gives this gold-plated brass spoon a substantial feel despite its compact 1 1/4" (3cm) profile. This particular Acme Fish Hawk, identified by product code 6562, represents a discontinued chapter in the manufacturer's American production history and is a rare find for any vintage collection. The front of the blade features a series of distinctive dimples designed to catch and reflect light, accented by four precisely placed red dots that provide a visual focal point. On the reverse, the smooth gold surface remains bright and untarnished. A flexible red plastic flapper tail is mounted to the rear split ring alongside a sharp, bronze-finished treble hook, providing a bold color contrast against the metallic finish. This specimen is in exceptional state, earning a 5/5 condition rating with no visible wear to the paint or plating. Every component, from the brass wire attachment at the nose to the split ring hardware, remains tight and secure as originally manufactured in the USA.
