Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Thunderbolt, 1/8oz gold fishing spoon #23905

Weighing in at 1/8oz (3.5g), this compact metal spoon exemplifies the durability expected from USA-made tackle. The Acme Thunderbolt, designated by product code 23905, measures a precise 1 1/4" (3 cm) and showcases a high-luster gold finish across its entire surface. Its traditional teardrop profile is engineered for casting, featuring a single mounting hole at the front and a treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. This specific specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, retaining its original brilliance without the dulling often found on older lures. The hardware remains sharp and properly aligned, reflecting the quality control of early Acme manufacturing.
