Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wonderlure, 2/5oz Red / White fishing spoon #0232

Measuring in at 11g (2/5 oz), this classic spoon features a bold red and white diagonal stripe pattern on its convex face. The concave side reveals its heritage with the 'WONDERLURE' stamp deeply embossed into the metal, a hallmark of the quality Acme produced in the USA. This particular specimen, identified by product code 0232, retains its original hardware, including a stout treble hook and split rings that show soft wear consistent with its 4/5 condition rating. Fishing this lure typically involves casting or trolling, where the spoon's curved profile allows it to catch light effectively. The enamel paint shows some light surface marks along the edges, highlighting its authentic vintage nature. On the brass-toned reverse, the texture reflects a legacy of American metalwork that has made these spoons a reliable choice for anglers over the decades.
