Museum Archive: Acme Dazzler #3, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Green fishing spoon #5126

Tipping the scales at a substantial 1/2 oz (14 g), this Acme Dazzler #3 showcases a classic spoon profile designed for versatility across both casting and trolling setups. A vibrant green paint finish covers half of the hammered nickel face, creating a high-contrast flash intended to catch the light at shallow depths around 3 ft (0.9 m). Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the lure's body features a distinct "S" stamp alongside the "DAZZLER" brand name on its smooth backside, identifying it as part of a thinner series. This specific specimen, bearing product code 5126, is unused and retains its original luster from the factory. The hammered texture on the front side is a technical choice meant to diffuse light in multiple directions, paired with a robust treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring. Being a discontinued piece made in the USA, it represents a well-preserved example of mid-century metal lure craftsmanship.
