Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Hippy, 1/8oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #13122

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this Acme Hippy are legendary for their ability to scatter light in multiple directions, mimicking the flash of baitfish. Weighing 1/8oz (4g) with a length of 1 3/4" (4.5cm), this compact metal spoon is a staple for light tackle enthusiasts targeting trout or panfish. On the smooth reverse side, the "HIPPY" brand name is clearly stamped, identifying its American manufacturing heritage. This specimen, assigned product code 13122, is in 5/5 condition, retaining its high-reflectivity surface and clean hardware. The lure is rigged with a single treble hook attached by a split ring, paired with a clean line-attachment hole at the lead end.
