Museum Archive: Vintage Acme K.O. Wobbler, 1/4oz Orange / Gold fishing spoon #5638

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic American-made casting spoon features a vibrant orange stripe against a polished gold-plated body. Stamped clearly on the concave reverse is the K.O. Wobbler branding, a testament to the manufacturing standards maintained by Acme in the USA. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 5638, measures 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and presents in 4/5 condition with a bright, reflective finish. A hallmark of this particular design is the Sonic flipper tail—a small, gold-tone metal leaf attached to the rear split ring. This mechanical component is specifically engineered to produce sound and vibrations during the side-to-side movement of the retrieve. The lure is equipped with original hardware, including a sharp treble hook and sturdy split rings at both the head and tail, facilitating a reliable connection for freshwater casting.
