Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 3/32oz Brown Trout / Gold fishing spoon #6559

Stamped clearly on the gold-finished reverse side is the iconic "PHOEBE" name, identifying this classic American-made spoon. The front face features a Brown Trout pattern, blending a warm yellowish-gold upper half with scattered brown spots over a pale, scale-textured white underside. A single treble hook is secured via a split ring to the tail end of the fish-shaped body. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original luster and sharp paint definition. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) and weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g), this Acme creation, cataloged under product code 6559, utilizes unique hydrodynamics to create a lifelike visual presence. Manufactured in the USA, the lure's silhouette mimics a slender baitfish, tapering from a rounded head down to a distinctive split-tail design.
