Museum Archive: Acme Stee-Lee​, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #12094

Hammered nickel plating defines the visual profile of this 1/2oz (14g) spoon, providing a high-flash surface for underwater visibility. This Acme Stee-Lee, cataloged under product code 12094, measures 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and represents a classic era of USA-manufactured tackle. The convex side is meticulously dimpled to catch light, while the concave back remains smooth and is stamped with the recognizable "STEE-LEE" name. Its hardware consists of a sharp treble hook attached by a robust split ring, and because the lure is unused, the metal surfaces are clean and reflective. The teardrop shape and weight offer a reliable choice for casting into current or trolling across lake flats.
