Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wonderlure, 1/4oz black/white/gold fishing spoon #19117

Stamped clearly into the gold-finished backside, the "WONDERLURE" name identifies this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) spoon as a classic piece of American tackle history. This specific specimen, identified by product code 19117, features a bold black and white diagonal striped pattern applied over a gold-tone base. Small areas where the paint has lifted reveal the bright metal underneath, adding character to the 1/4oz (7g) lure. Produced in the USA by Acme, the hardware consists of a robust treble hook attached by a split ring at the rear. The lure's condition is a solid 4/5, showing light surface wear while preserving the integrity of the original paint scheme. The concave gold surface on the reverse remains smooth and bright.
