Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 3/16oz fishing spoon #15969

Stamped scales across the 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) body create a distinct texture that defines the visual character of this fish-shaped spoon. Carrying product code 15969, the specimen features a two-tone finish with a vibrant orange upper section fading into a bright metallic silver belly. At a weight of 3/16 oz (5.5 g), the metal construction provides the necessary density for effective casting in both shallow and deep water. The reverse side clearly displays the embossed ACME and PHOEBE branding, identifying its USA origin and heritage. This lure is found in 5/5 condition, maintaining a high-quality finish on its hardware and painted surfaces. A single split ring at the tail secures a dark-finished treble hook, while the head features a clean line-tie hole ready for rigging. The hydrodynamic silhouette, complete with a small dorsal fin and flared tail, allows for versatile use across different retrieval speeds.
