Museum Archive: Acme Stee-Lee​, 1/2oz Hammered Copper fishing spoon #10372

Hammered copper finishes like the one on this 1/2 oz (14 g) specimen are legendary for creating a complex flash that mimics the scales of a baitfish. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this Acme Stee-Lee carries product code 10372 and represents a classic design heavily favored for trout and salmon. Flipping the lure over reveals the "STEE-LEE" brand name stamped into the smooth, polished back, confirming its authentic USA production. This particular example is unused and maintains a condition rating of 6, meaning the metal surfaces are clean and highly reflective. It comes equipped with a sharp, bronze-tone treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. The dense teardrop profile is specifically engineered for distance casting and staying down in swifter currents. A single clean-drilled hole at the leading edge serves as the line tie, ensuring a solid connection to your tackle.
