Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 3/32oz nickel fishing spoon #22361

Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.5 g) with a compact 1 1/4" (3 cm) profile, this American-made spoon is a staple for those targeting trout or panfish. The polished nickel finish is stamped with intricate scale patterns across the fish-shaped body, creating a lifelike silhouette in the water. Clearly marked with the PHOEBE name on the smooth underside, this vintage specimen carries Product Code 22361 and represents the high manufacturing standards of the Acme Tackle Company. The hardware consists of a single split ring securing a sharp treble hook to the tail. Given the pristine state of the plating and the integrity of the stampings, the lure is in 5/5 condition. Its hydrodynamic design was engineered to provide versatility for anglers fishing at various depths, performing effectively during both steady and slow retrieves.
