Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon Lightning (50s), 1/4oz gold/orange fishing spoon #22243

Gold and orange plating on a 1/4 oz (7 g) frame identifies this mid-century rarity, a piece that is no longer in production. Originating from the USA in the 1950s, the Fiord Spoon Lightning carries the stamped lightning bolt insignia and model name directly into the metal on the reverse side. At a length of 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the streamlined profile of Product Code 22243 was engineered for long-distance casting and effective jigging techniques. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a brilliant reflective surface and clean hardware. A single orange accent runs the length of the gold body, providing a classic two-tone contrast that anglers of the era relied on for visibility in varying light conditions. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a needle-point treble hook, illustrating the high-quality standards Acme maintained during this period.
