Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/2oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #12217

Stamped with the distinctive 'PHOEBE' name on its reverse, this 1/2 oz (14 g) metal spoon showcases the classic fish-like silhouette that defined Acme’s presence in American angling history. The finish features a Nickel / Orange palette, where the upper dorsal section is a vibrant orange that transitions into highly detailed, embossed scales over the polished metal body. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), this USA-made specimen is exceptionally clean, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its preserved surfaces and original hardware. Its hydrodynamic curvature is designed to create a three-dimensional illusion when moved through the water, allowing it to be fished effectively in both shallow and deep zones. Identified by product code 12217, the lure is equipped with a sharp treble hook and a robust split ring.
