Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wonderlure, 2/5oz Red / White / Gold fishing spoon #14450

Stamped clearly into the polished gold back is the name of this classic American spoon, identifying it as a genuine Wonderlure from Acme. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), this specimen features a striking candy-cane pattern on its convex face with diagonal red stripes set against a white base. This particular item, identified by product code 14450, remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing a vibrant paint finish and its original hardware. The gold-plated reverse side provides a high-contrast flash, a characteristic design element for these USA-made spoons intended for casting and trolling. A single treble hook is secured to the trailing end via a sturdy split ring, while the leading edge features a clean attachment hole.
