Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Side-Winder, 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #16055

Nickel plating across the entire 2 1/4" (5.8cm) body gives this American-made Acme Side-Winder a brilliant, reflective surface. Stamped with a detailed scale pattern and a stylized fish head near the line tie, the lure (Product Code 16055) remains a staple for casting and jigging enthusiasts. Weighing 1/3oz (9g), it features a distinctively curved profile designed to catch the light at multiple angles. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a mirror-like finish on both the convex and concave sides. The hardware consists of a robust split ring and a sharp treble hook, which includes a notable brass-toned sleeve protecting the shank. The text "SIDE-WINDER" is deeply embossed along the lower edge, signifying its origin from Acme's US production line.
