Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Stee-Lee​, 1/2oz Hammered Gold fishing spoon #11370

Hammered gold texturing across the convex surface provides the primary visual appeal for this 1/2oz (14g) spoon. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the Acme Stee-Lee carries its identity clearly stamped into the smooth metal on the interior face. This specimen, identified by product code 11370, is rated at 4/5 for condition, as it shows a bright reflective surface on the dimpled side and some slight darkening from age on the flatter surfaces. Manufactured in the USA, the lure is outfitted with sturdy split rings at both ends and its original bronzed treble hook. The teardrop shape is a hallmark of this series, designed for effective casting distance into various depths. The stamped branding remains crisp and fully legible against the gold-toned finish.
