Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon Jr Lightning (1950s), 1/8oz nickel/red/white fishing spoon #20668

Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.4 g), this mid-century Acme specimen showcases the distinctive red and white 'Lightning' pattern over a polished nickel base. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the Fiord Spoon Jr. belongs to a bygone era of American tackle manufacturing, having been discontinued decades ago. Its slim, elongated profile was engineered for casting and jigging, proving useful for coaxing strikes from passive predators when paired with a light 8-10 lb line. The reverse side features the authentic 'FIORD JR.' stamp alongside the classic lightning bolt logo, identifying it as an early production piece from the 1950s. Regarding its physical state, the lure maintains a solid 4/5 rating, with the painted finish and hardware showing only light evidence of its age. The split ring and treble hook attachment are secure, preserving the original configuration of this USA-made rarity. It carries the product code 20668, a detail that helps collectors categorize this specific variation within the broader Acme lineage.
