Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon Lightning (1950s), 2/5oz red/white/nickel fishing spoon #20407

Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this mid-century casting spoon presents a striking red finish accented by a bold, curved white stripe. Hailing from the 1950s, the Acme Fiord Spoon Lightning is a sought-after piece of American angling history, bearing the product code 20407. The rear side reveals a polished nickel surface, cleanly stamped with "FIORD SPOON" and the brand's signature lightning bolt logo inside a circle. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure's profile was specifically designed to handle both casting and jigging applications, targeting passive predators effectively. The specimen maintains an excellent 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and original brass-toned treble hook hardware. A simple split ring connects the hook to the spoon, while the nose features a precise attachment hole characteristic of early USA manufacturing. This discontinued model represents the transition of post-war tackle design into the modern era of spoon fishing.
