Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon Lightning (1950s), 2/5oz frog fishing spoon #18685

Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this mid-century casting tool showcases a classic 'frog' finish with green and yellow stippling and bold yellow-centered black spots. The 2/5 oz (11 g) weight and tapered design indicate its suitability for both traditional casting and vertical jigging applications. Stamped clearly on the silver-toned reverse is the 'Fiord Spoon' name and the lightning bolt emblem, signaling its origin from Acme's USA factory in the 1950s. Identified by product code 18685, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean surface on its metal body and original bronze treble hook. This discontinued rarity reflects the durable construction techniques preferred by anglers of that era, featuring a secure split ring attachment for the hook.
