Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #3212

Stamped with a detailed scale pattern that creates a three-dimensional baitfish profile, this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon is a signature design from the USA. The 2" (5 cm) body is finished in reflective Nickel, providing a bright flash that anglers have relied on for decades. Labeled as product code 3212, the Phoebe is recognizable by its curved, anatomically inspired shape, which includes a distinct dorsal fin and tail. On the concave reverse side, the Acme brand name and model are clearly stamped into the metal. This specific lure carries a 5/5 condition rating, showing a clean surface and well-maintained hardware. A sharp treble hook is attached at the rear via a stainless split ring, positioned to balance the lure's unique hydrodynamic properties during both deep and shallow retrieves.
