Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kamlooper Junior, 1/4oz Nickel / Red / Black fishing spoon #16044

Stamped deeply into the nickel-plated reverse, the names "KAMLOOPER" and "JUNIOR" mark this classic Acme lure as a genuine piece of USA-made fishing history. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the spoon displays a vibrant red enamel face split by a polished silver wavy stripe and accented with precise black dots. This specific item, listed under product code 16044, holds a 5/5 condition rating, with its reflective nickel surfaces and painted details remaining remarkably preserved. The hardware is comprised of a robust split ring and a standard bronze-finished treble hook, typical of the construction quality anglers expected from the Acme Tackle Company. The high contrast between the red body and the silver center wave was designed for visibility in various water conditions, a hallmark of the Kamlooper series.
