Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz fishing spoon #16038

Stamped with a detailed scale pattern across its curved metal surface, this lure showcases a classic baitfish silhouette that has long been a staple in American tackle boxes. This 1/4 oz (7 g) Acme Phoebe, carrying product code 16038, measures 2" (5 cm) in length and features a rich copper finish. Flipping the spoon over reveals the "PHOEBE" name deeply embossed on the smooth reverse side, a hallmark of its USA origin. The hydrodynamic design is intended to create a three-dimensional illusion, allowing it to be utilized across various depths. The hardware includes a sharp treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail and a single eyelet at the nose for line attachment. This specific specimen maintains its clean, polished look with a condition rating of 5/5.
