Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon, 1/4oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #9066

Stamped clearly into the polished metal on the concave side, the "FIORD SPOON" name identifies this Acme classic as a discontinued USA-made treasure. This specific lure, carrying product code 9066, features a dual-tone Nickel / Green finish across its 1 3/4" (4.5cm) frame. The vibrant green paint remains crisp along the edge of the nickel plating, which holds a strong shine consistent with its 5/5 condition rating. At a weight of 1/4oz (7g), the spoon's dense, slender construction was a deliberate design choice by Acme to aid in long-distance casting and deep-water jigging techniques. The original hardware is intact, including the silver-tone split ring and the rear-mounted treble hook. Collectors often appreciate the clean, deep-strike lettering of the brand stamp, a detail that highlights the manufacturing standards of its era. This specimen represents a time when Acme focused on heavy-gauge metals for versatile application against passive predators in various water conditions.
