Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kamlooper Junior, 1/4oz Nickel/orange fishing spoon #16705

Nickel plating on the reverse side highlights the crisp stamped lettering identifying this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon as an Acme Kamlooper Junior. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the lure showcases a vibrant orange enamel finish on the front face, punctuated by a curved, wavy nickel-silver stripe. Carrying product code 16705, this Acme specimen is built with a heavy-gauge metal body intended for casting. The back clearly bears the "KAMLOOPER" and "JUNIOR" stamps, which are hallmarks of its USA manufacturing. Hardware consists of a dark-finished treble hook attached by a robust split ring at the tail end. This specimen maintains a highly reflective finish on the nickel sections and a smooth enamel surface, justifying a 5/5 condition rating.
