Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 3/16oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #15488

Tipping the scales at 3/16oz (5.5g), this USA-made spoon remains a staple for anglers seeking a realistic baitfish profile in a compact 1 3/4" (4.5cm) frame. The Acme Phoebe features an embossed scale pattern across its curved metal body, finished in a high-visibility Nickel / Orange combination. A vibrant orange stripe runs along the dorsal ridge, providing a sharp contrast against the bright nickel base that reflects light under the surface. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 15488, represents the quality manufacturing Acme is known for, equipped with a sharp black treble hook and secure split rings. The condition of this lure is a clean 5/5, showing the original luster of the nickel plating and the crisp application of the upper paint. Anglers typically utilize this model for casting in pursuit of trout, panfish, or light-tackle bass.
