Museum Archive: Vintage Acme K.O. Wobbler, 1/8oz nickel/green fishing spoon #19937

Stamping the name "K.O. WOBBLER" directly into the nickel-plated reverse side ensures this 1/8 oz (3.5 g) spoon remains a recognizable classic in any ultralight kit. This particular specimen, identified by product code 19937, features a striking nickel/green color scheme where a bright lime edge accents the polished metal face. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, the lure’s most distinctive technical feature is the "Sonic flipper tail"—a small, loose-fitting metal blade attached to the rear split ring. This flapper is designed to strike against the spoon’s body, a design element that helped define Acme's reputation for American-made metal lures. The hardware includes sturdy split rings at both ends, securing a sharp bronze-toned treble hook. Looking at its condition, it rates a 5/5 with the green paint edge showing full saturation and the nickel finish maintaining a high luster. It serves as a well-preserved example of precision metalwork from the USA, designed primarily for casting toward trout or panfish.
