Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, fishing spoon #22884

Stamped with a detailed scale pattern across its curved silver profile, this piece represents a staple in many vintage tackle boxes. A distinct fish-like silhouette with defined fins gives the Acme Phoebe, product code 22884, its signature look. On the concave interior, the original brand hallmark is clearly embossed into the metal. This 1/4 oz (7.1 g) solid metal body, measuring approximately 2.25 inches (5.7 cm), is paired with a sharp treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring at the tail. The chrome plating remains highly reflective and the hardware shows no signs of wear; this lure is unused. Anglers typically utilize this design for casting or trolling, relying on the precision-drilled attachment point at the nose for a secure connection to the line.
