Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 3/32oz Copper fishing spoon #3858

Copper tones dominate this vintage Acme Phoebe spoon, which features a meticulously stamped scale pattern that gives the metal a distinct three-dimensional appearance. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.5 g) and measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, this specimen (Product Code 3858) carries the classic 'PHOEBE' hallmark stamped clearly on its smooth reverse side. The anatomical fish shape is complete with raised fins and a detailed tail, intended for casting techniques in both deep and shallow waters. A sturdy silver-toned treble hook is attached to the rear via a strong split ring, reflecting the dependable manufacturing from its USA origin. The copper finish remains bright and well-preserved across the textured surface, earning this piece a condition rating of 5/5. The line-tie hole is precisely positioned at the nose of the fish profile to maintain stability during various retrieval speeds.
