Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kamlooper Spoon, 2/5oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #16009

Nickel plating serves as the foundation for this classic spoon, which features a distinct orange-red painted accent along its outer edges. Stamped clearly into the reverse metal side is the "KAMLOOPER" name and "SWEDEN" designation, identifying its early production heritage. Weighing 2/5 oz (11g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the 16009 model is constructed from heavy-gauge metal intended for long casting and deep-water presentation. The finish is remarkably well-preserved, showing a 5/5 condition with vibrant colors and crisp black dots that contrast against the polished nickel center strip. Acme's choice of a bronze-finished treble hook attached via a robust split ring highlights the utilitarian design meant for targeting trout and salmon in heavy currents.
