Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wonderlure, 1/4oz gold/red/white fishing spoon #19032

A bold red-and-white diagonal stripe pattern defines the face of this classic Acme spoon, offering the high contrast that has made the design a staple in American tackle boxes for decades. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7g), this Acme Wonderlure (Product Code: 19032) is a well-preserved example of mid-century USA manufacturing. On the reverse, the gold-finished metal is clearly stamped with the WONDERLURE name in its signature block lettering. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, intact painted surface and clean metal on the back. A sturdy split ring connects the original treble hook to the rear of the teardrop-shaped body, which is balanced for both casting and trolling applications. The nose of the lure features a cleanly drilled line-tie hole, ready for a snap or leader attachment.
