Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Side-Winder, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #18385

Stamped with a detailed scale pattern and the SIDE-WINDER name, this 1/4oz (7g) gold-tone spoon showcases the classic craftsmanship of the USA-based Acme Tackle Company. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, the lure features a polished finish that catches the light across its curved, fish-shaped profile. The head of the spoon includes a stamped eye and gill plate, adding a touch of realism to the solid metal body. Its construction relies on a heavy-gauge material paired with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, a design intended for effective casting or trolling. This specimen, identified by product code 18385, remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with its reflective surface and hardware appearing well-maintained. The back of the lure is smooth and highly polished, providing a distinct visual contrast to the textured front side.
