Museum Archive: Acme Phoebe Spoon, Copper, 1/4 oz (7 g), Stamped Brass, #24453

Stamped from solid brass with a deep copper finish, the curved profile of this 2" (5 cm) spoon creates a realistic three-dimensional silhouette in the water. Detailed scale patterns are etched across the body along with modeled fins near the tail to mimic a baitfish. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the metal body is shaped with a subtle S-curve that maintains a consistent side-to-side swimming motion during a retrieve. The back of the spoon is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark, and the physical state of the lure is a solid 5/5. Primarily designed for casting, the hardware is secured through precisely punched holes at the head and tail, maintaining the intended balance of this vintage spoon, identified by product code 24453.
