Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/2oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #18896

A solid orange paint application on one side contrasts sharply with the polished nickel finish on the other side of this 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) metal spoon. This Acme Kastmaster, carrying product code 18896, is a USA-made lure machined from solid brass for a dense, heavy-for-its-size profile. At 1/2 oz (14 g), the aerodynamic shape allows for significant distance when casting into the wind or from the shoreline. The hardware includes a durable treble hook and a steel split ring attached to the tapered rear of the lure body. In 5/5 condition, the specimen maintains its vibrant color and mirror-like plating. The line-tie hole at the leading edge is cleanly drilled, ensuring a secure point of contact for the angler's knot.
