Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Side-winder, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #12699

A stamped scale pattern wraps around the front of this 1/2 oz (14 g) Nickel spoon, creating a high-flash profile in the water. Stamped with the 'SIDE-WINDER' name and a stylized fish head, this Acme classic measures 3" (7.5 cm) in length. Produced in the USA, the metal body features a deep curve intended for both casting and vertical jigging applications. The hardware is comprised of a sharp, dark-finished treble hook attached by a sturdy split ring. Looking at the condition, the lure is unused and reflects a 5/5 rating with a mirror-like finish across its entire surface. A single, clean-cut hole at the tapered end serves as the line-attachment point.
