Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #12419

Nickel plating finished with a deep blue dorsal scale pattern defines the visual appeal of this 2" (5 cm) fish-shaped spoon. Stamped with the "PHOEBE" name on its reverse, this 1/4 oz (7 g) lure represents classic American craftsmanship from Acme. The textured front surface mimics natural baitfish scales, while the hardware consists of a sharp treble hook and a strong split ring. Identified by product code 12419, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface that highlights the original factory finish. Its curved, hydrodynamic body is designed for versatility, performing across both shallow water casting and deeper retrieves. A single line-tie hole at the nose allows for direct attachment, ensuring the metal spoon maintains its profile orientation.
