Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Looter, 3/16oz Hammered Gold / Orange fishing spoon #13590

A distinctive hammered texture covers the gold half of this 3 1/4" (8cm) metal spoon, designed to maximize reflection from multiple angles. This Acme Looter, bearing product code 13590, features a dual-tone Hammered Gold / Orange finish that was a staple of the brand's USA-made production. Weighing in at 3/16oz (6g), the lure is specifically constructed for trolling applications. The orange-painted section reveals a functional secret in low-light conditions; it possesses a luminescent glow that provides a visual target in deeper or stained water. The hardware remains original, featuring a bronze-finished treble hook and sturdy split rings. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the specimen shows remarkable preservation of its paint and hammered metal surface. The transition line between the textured gold and the smooth orange pigment is sharp, reflecting the quality control typical of vintage Acme tackle.
