Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster , 1/8oz Trout fishing spoon #8873

Measuring 1 1/2 inches (3.5 cm) in length, the solid metal body of this spoon features the distinctive aerodynamic slanting cut that is a hallmark of the Acme brand. This specific specimen displays the Trout color pattern, consisting of a clean white face bordered by a vibrant orange edge and decorated with a series of green, red, and yellow dots. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g), the lure carries the product code 8873 and is built from a specialized alloy designed for specific balance during both descent and retrieval. The reverse side presents a polished silver finish, reflecting its high manufacturing standards. It comes equipped with a sharp treble hook attached via a robust split ring, and its overall state is remarkably well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 5/5. This light tackle staple is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship from the Acme factory.
