Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Tornado Spoon, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #20617

Stamped clearly into the rear of the nickel-finished blade, the "MADE IN USA" marking confirms the heritage of this authentic casting lure. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the spoon utilizes a textured scale finish to catch light beneath the surface. A series of five red and four white dots adds a traditional color contrast to the front face of this Acme Tornado Spoon, product code 20617. With a condition rating of 5/5, the piece is remarkably well-preserved, showing clean lines and bright metal throughout the body. The attachment point is secured with a robust split ring holding a sharp, bronze-finished treble hook. On the reverse, the "TORNADO" model name is pressed deep into the nickel, a signature of Acme's manufacturing standards for their classic hardware lines.
