Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon, 1/4oz red/nickel fishing spoon #21987

Measuring exactly 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this casting spoon displays a classic profile that has served anglers for generations. The front face features a vibrant orange-red enamel finish accented by distinct black dots over a nickel base, while the reverse side is stamped with the "Fiord Spoon" branding in clean, legible lettering. This specific specimen carries the product code 21987 and was manufactured by Acme in the USA. At 1/4 oz (7 g), its compact, heavy-gauge construction is designed for long-distance casting and deep-water jigging applications where hitting a specific depth is key. The hardware is in remarkable shape, with the original treble hook showing minimal signs of age, earning this piece a solid 5/5 condition rating. As a discontinued model, it represents a period of American tackle manufacturing focused on simplicity and durability.
