Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon , 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #8438

Weighing in at a substantial 3/4oz (21g), this vintage Acme Fiord Spoon represents a now-discontinued piece of American angling history. The 3 1/4" (8.5cm) slender body is finished in a bright Nickel plating, providing a distinct flash during a retrieve or while jigging. Cataloged under product code 8438, this specimen is the feathered variant, featuring a single hook dressed with natural white hair or feathers secured by a tidy red thread wrap at the shank. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, with a well-preserved surface that clearly displays the stamped branding on the concave side of the metal. Engineered for long-distance casting, the heavy profile allows anglers to reach deep-water predators that are otherwise inaccessible with lighter spoons. A robust split ring provides the secure connection between the polished metal body and the dressed hook.
