Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 3/32oz Gold fishing spoon #14653

Stamped with a detailed scale pattern that creates a distinctive three-dimensional profile, this Acme Phoebe captures the classic aesthetic of American metal craftsmanship. Weighing in at 3/32oz (2.5g) and measuring 1 1/4" (3cm), the lure features a curved, fish-shaped body designed for versatility across varying depths. This particular specimen, identified by product code 14653, remains in top-tier 5/5 condition, showing the bright luster of its gold finish and the sharp definition of the "PHOEBE" lettering stamped on the reverse side. The hardware is comprised of a sturdy gold-tone split ring and a black-finished treble hook, typical of the high-quality components Acme utilized in their USA manufacturing. Often chosen for both shallow and deep-water applications, this small-profile spoon represents a staple in the brand's history of metal lures.
