Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Side-Winder, 1/3oz gold/orange fishing spoon #19495

Orange scales layered over a brilliant gold base immediately catch the eye on this vintage specimen. Produced by Acme, this Side-Winder (Product Code: 19495) represents classic American lure craftsmanship from the USA. It measures 2 1/4" (5.8 cm) in length and tips the scales at 1/3 oz (9 g), making it a versatile choice for casting. The front face features a stamped fish head design near the line tie and the "SIDE-WINDER" branding stamped into the metal towards the hook end. The orange paint is applied in a distinct scale pattern that contrasts sharply with the polished gold finish. The reverse side is a clean, uniform gold surface, showcasing the lure's curved profile. Rated at 5/5, the metal and paint show exceptional preservation. It comes equipped with a bronze-toned treble hook attached via a sturdy gold-colored split ring.
