Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz nickel/green fishing spoon #18453

Nickel plating paired with a vibrant green gradient along the spine defines this specific 2" (5 cm) specimen. Stamped into the reverse of the metal is the "PHOEBE" name and "USA" origin, marking it as a classic piece from the Acme Tackle Company catalog under product code 18453. This 1/4oz (7g) lure is designed with a deeply embossed scale pattern that catches light, working alongside its curved fish-like profile to create a three-dimensional illusion in the water. The hardware features a robust treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail. Keeping a high standard for collectors, this lure is in 5/5 condition. The unique hydrodynamics of the design allow it to be effectively fished across various depths, performing well whether retrieved quickly or with a steady sweep.
