Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wonderlure, 3/16oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #14452

Hammered nickel finishes like the one found on this 3/16 oz (4.5 g) spoon were designed to catch light from every angle, mimicking the flash of fleeing baitfish. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), this Acme Wonderlure (Product Code 14452) represents a classic piece of American fishing history. The spoon features a dual-textured body: one side is heavily dimpled to maximize reflection, while the reverse side is smooth and clearly stamped with the "WONDERLURE" name. Constructed in the USA, the metal surface remains exceptionally clean and bright, earning it a high 5/5 condition rating. It comes equipped with a sturdy split ring connecting a darkened treble hook, intended for casting or light trolling applications. The design reflects the mid-century manufacturing standards that made Acme a staple in tackle boxes across North America.
