Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/8oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #21029

Nickel plating paired with a vibrant orange top edge gives this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon a classic high-contrast look that has been a staple in tackle boxes for decades. This specific Acme Phoebe, identified by product code 21029, features the signature curved, three-dimensional fish silhouette that helped establish Acme's reputation in the USA. The stamped scale pattern along the body adds a textural depth that catches light across different angles, while the reverse side remains a clean, polished nickel stamped clearly with the "PHOEBE" name. At a weight of 1/8 oz (4 g), the lure is well-suited for light-line casting or trolling in both shallow and deeper water columns. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, showing no signs of wear. The condition of this specimen is exceptional, rating a solid 5/5, with the finish maintaining its original luster.
