Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wonderlure, 1/4oz red/white/copper fishing spoon #19116

Stamping the 'WONDERLURE' name directly into the copper-finished back, Acme Tackle Company showcased their early American manufacturing roots in this specimen. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length and weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), this spoon features the iconic diagonal red and white striped pattern on its convex face. The paint shows very minimal signs of age, earning it a condition rating of 5/5. A single metal split ring connects the body to a vintage treble hook, which remains sharp and retains much of its original bronze-toned finish. This specific lure, identified by product code 19116, represents a versatile casting option for various freshwater species. The copper reverse side provides a contrasting flash compared to the high-visibility painted front. A clean line-tie hole sits at the tapered end, ready for a direct knot or a snap swivel.
