Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 3/32oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #14614

A vibrant orange stripe traces the spine and fins of this Nickel-finished Acme Phoebe, providing a subtle color contrast to its polished fish-shaped profile. Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the "PHOEBE" name, a hallmark of this American-made classic from the USA. This specimen, identified by product code 14614, features a distinctive three-dimensional scale pattern etched into the front of its 1 1/4" (3cm) body. Weighing 3/32oz (2.5g), the lure is equipped with a robust black treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. The hardware and finish are in excellent shape, showing a high level of preservation that justifies a condition rating of 5/5. Engineered with specific hydrodynamic properties, the curved metal design allows for use in both shallow and deep water across a variety of retrieval speeds.
