Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon Lightning (1950s), 2/5oz Nickel/Red/White fishing spoon #16607

Weighing in at 2/5oz (11g), this vintage metal lure displays a bold red and white diagonal stripe over a polished nickel finish. This 1950s Acme Fiord Spoon Lightning measures 2 1/4" (6cm) and represents a classic era of American tackle manufacturing. The back of the spoon is clearly stamped with the "FIORD SPOON" name and the distinctive lightning bolt logo, identifying it as a discontinued piece of angling history. Designed for casting and jigging techniques, the slender profile was intended to reach deep water where passive predators often hold. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing gentle signs of use that add character to its surfaces without compromising the integrity of the hardware. Its original treble hook remains attached, paired with the narrow teardrop body that define product code 16607. Collectors will appreciate the preservation of the painted stripe, which remains vivid against the metal substrate.
