Museum Archive: Acme Stee-Lee​, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Green fishing spoon #10368

Hammered green plating catches the light across the face of this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon, providing a textured surface that contrasts with the smooth nickel reverse side. This Acme Stee-Lee, listed under product code 10368, measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and displays the classic teardrop profile found in vintage American tackle collections. The back of the lure is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark, confirming its USA-made origins. A sharp treble hook is secured to the rear via a robust split ring, and the entire specimen remains in unused condition, earning a rating of 6. The heavy metal construction is built for efficient casting distances and helps the lure reach depth during a retrieve. No wear is visible on the vibrant green face or the nickel plating, ensuring the high-contrast finish remains distinct.
