Museum Archive: Vintage Acme K.O. Wobbler, 1/2oz Red / White / Gold fishing spoon #5628

A gold-plated backside proudly displays the K.O. WOBBLER stamp, a hallmark of this American-made classic from the model 5628 series. The front face is finished in high-visibility red and white stripes, creating a high-contrast profile that anglers have relied on for decades. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and weighing 1/2oz (14g), this specimen features the signature "Sonic flipper tail" — a small metallic blade at the rear intended to emit sound during a retrieve to mimic baitfish activity. In a 4/5 state, the finish shows some minor surface wear consistent with age, though the gold plating remains bright and the hardware is intact. The treble hook is paired with the specialized copper-toned flipper, ensuring the lure functions as intended by Acme's original design.
