The deep-stamped "SALOME" name on the inner face of the nickel plating identifies this rare specimen from the Acme catalog. Weighing 1/8oz (4g) with a length of 1" (2.5cm), this little spoon represents a piece of American fishing history that is no longer in production. Originating from the USA, the lure features a polished nickel finish and carries the product code 5438. The hardware consists of a treble hook attached via a robust split ring, showing some darkening typical of aged steel while maintaining sharp points. With a condition rating of 4/5, the body remains bright and clear, reflecting the quality of vintage manufacturing. The teardrop shape and top-tapered line-tie hole characterize its classic casting spoon design, making it a distinctive addition to any collection of rare Acme tackle.
