Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Hippy, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #5420

Glinting with a time-honored gold finish, this Acme Hippy spoon weighs in at 1/8oz (4g) and is a classic piece of American-made tackle. The metal body measures 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, featuring the 'HIPPY' name deeply stamped into its curved surface near the hardware attachment point. As a specimen of the product code 5420, it reflects the straightforward utilitarian design Acme is known for in the USA. The condition is a solid 3/5, showing some scattered dark spots and minor surface wear across the gold plating that speak to its age without compromising the metal. It is rigged with a sturdy split ring and a standard treble hook, while the head is pierced with a single hole for direct line attachment or a snap swivel.
