Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz orange/nickel fishing spoon #20367

Orange paint applied over a nickel-plated body gives this 2" (5 cm) spoon a distinct two-tone appearance that mimics the coloration of small forage fish. This 1/4 oz (7 g) Acme Phoebe, carrying product code 20367, is stamped with the manufacturer's name and model on its smooth reverse side. The textured front surface is embossed with intricate scale patterns, enhancing its visual depth under various light conditions. Crafted in the USA, this specimen is in superb condition, rated 5/5, with the paint and metal finish retaining their original luster. The design includes a curved, hydrodynamic body shape that allows the angler to work the lure effectively at multiple depths, from shallow banks to deeper structures. It is equipped with a clean split ring and a sharp treble hook, making it a well-preserved example of a classic casting lure.
