Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/8oz Silver fishing spoon #4501

Turning the lure over reveals the characteristic brand and model stamps impressed into the metal, a hallmark of its USA origin. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4cm), the stamped silver finish on this early specimen reveals the intricate scale patterns and fin details synonymous with the Acme brand. The hardware is well-preserved, rating a solid 4/5 for condition, showing minor surface age that reflects its history. Its unique anatomy features a curved body designed to mimic the three-dimensional profile of a baitfish, allowing for effective presentation in both deep water and across shallow flats. Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g), this specific model, cataloged under product code 4501, remains a staple for casting or trolling applications. The original treble hook is securely attached via a simple metal split ring.
