Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Lightening Spoon Crystal, 1/3oz Crystal fishing spoon #5543

Hammered textures on the Crystal finish define this vintage piece, which is no longer in production by the legendary Acme company. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (9g), this spoon was engineered in the USA for efficient casting and durability. The metal body is clearly stamped with the "LIGHTENING SPOON" name and is cataloged under product code 5543. Examining the hardware, the split ring secures a robust treble hook that remains in functional form. The faceted surface is designed to maximize light reflection, showing honest signs of age that contribute to its 4/5 condition rating. A single precision-drilled hole at the head allows for easy connection to a snap or leader, typical of these classic American-made spoons.
