Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Salome, 1/8oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #5437

Diagonal red and white enamel stripes distinguish the convex side of the 1" (2.5cm) nickel Salome, a discontinued model from the Acme catalog. Cataloged under product code 5437, this American-made lure features a traditional teardrop shape designed for casting in freshwater. The nickel-plated reverse side is stamped with the manufacturer and model name, though the lettering has softened, contributing to a condition rating of 4/5. At a weight of 1/8oz (3.4g), the hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a vintage treble hook that has taken on a dark, non-reflective finish over the years. Small surface marks on the nickel plating are consistent with its age and use.
