Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kamlooper Spoon, 2/5oz nickel/red/white fishing spoon #22798

Weighing in at 2/5oz (11g), the teardrop-shaped metal body of this specimen showcases the classic American craftsmanship associated with mid-century hardware. The stamped 'KAMLOOPER SPOON' lettering on the polished nickel reverse side clearly identifies its pedigree. On the convex face, the paint scheme follows a bold diagonal wave pattern, combining vibrant red and clean white over the metallic nickel base. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, this spoon is a substantial choice for casting toward trout or landlocked salmon. This specific item, identified by product code 22798, maintains an honest appearance with a condition rating of 4/5, showing only light signs of its tenure through minor paint thinning along the edges. The hardware is comprised of a sturdy split ring and a bronzed treble hook that remains intact. The heavy gauge of the nickel-plated steel allows for deep-water presentation during a steady retrieve.
