Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Thunderbolt, 1/8oz Fire tiger fishing spoon #23224

Finished in a classic Fire Tiger pattern, the teardrop profile of this 1 1/4" (3cm) metal spoon presents a vibrant green-to-orange gradient accented by bold black diagonal stripes. Stamped on the polished gold-toned reverse side, the markings identify it as an Acme Thunderbolt, though there is a specific detail where the metal stamp reads 1/10 oz despite the 1/8oz (3.5g) weight of this specimen, Product Code 23224. This USA-manufactured lure utilizes a solid metal construction and features a single split ring at the rear securing a bronzed treble hook. In its current 5/5 condition, the painted surface remains smooth and well-preserved, maintaining the high-contrast finish designed for casting in various freshwater environments. The small, clean attachment hole at the head provides a secure point for a direct line tie or snap.
