Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wonderlure UV, 2/5oz Hammered Gold / Orange fishing spoon #12265

Hammered gold textures across the center strip of this Acme Wonderlure UV catch the light alongside bold fluorescent orange edges, a combination designed for visibility in various water conditions. Produced in the USA, this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and carries the product code 12265. The "UV" designation is verified by the reactive paint on the sides which glows intensely under ultraviolet light, making it a specialized choice for deeper presentations where standard colors lose their punch. This particular specimen is in excellent condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean finish and intact hardware. Its teardrop-shaped body is paired with a classic treble hook and split ring assembly. The stamped metal construction remains bright, with the hammered dimples providing multiple reflecting surfaces for casting or trolling applications.
