Gleaming with a classic Nickel and Blue finish, this 2/5 oz (11 g) spoon is a well-preserved piece of Rhode Island angling history. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the Acme Fiord Spoon (Product Code 11879) features a polished metal body accented by a deep blue stripe along its side, a color scheme often preferred for deep-water clarity. This specimen is unused (Condition 6) and remains sealed in its original vintage 'Fabulous Fiord' bubble pack, complete with the iconic Viking mascot. The heavy-duty treble hook is securely attached via a stout split ring, designed for the rigors of casting or vertical jigging. Produced at the Acme Tackle Company's historic 69 Bucklin Street location in Providence, the packaging also references other legendary designs like the Kastmaster and Phoebe. Unlike modern versions, the stamping and finish on this older production model reflect the high quality of early American metal lure manufacturing.
