Stamped clearly on the smooth concave side of this American-made spoon is the iconic 'PHOEBE' name, marking it as a quintessential Acme design. This particular specimen, identified by product code 19444, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and scales in at 1/2 oz (14 g). The exterior is characterized by a deeply embossed scale pattern that wraps around the curved body, intended to provide a lifelike texture and the illusion of three-dimensionality. Its polished silver finish remains bright and clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. At the tail, a robust split ring secures a bronze-colored treble hook, which remains sharp and structurally sound. The lure's distinct fish-shaped silhouette includes a small dorsal fin and a flared tail section, precisely stamped from quality metal stock in the USA. Designed for versatility, the construction accommodates both fast and smooth retrieval techniques.
