Museum Archive: Vintage ​Acme Little Cleo, 1/16oz Gold fishing spoon #14899

Gold plating covers the entire surface of this 1 1/4" (3 cm) spoon, providing a classic reflective profile that anglers have relied on for generations. Stamped on the back with the "LITTLE CLEO" mark, this specimen carries product code 14899 and belongs to the specialized thin trolling series from Acme's USA production line. At a featherweight 1/16 oz (1.8 g), the slender body is built for finesse trolling applications where a lighter touch is required. The gold-toned treble hook is secured by a robust split ring, ensuring the hardware matches the lure’s overall aesthetics. This particular example is unused, showing a bright, clean finish and sharp hook points, earning a 6 rating. A precision-drilled hole at the narrow end provides the attachment point for your leader or snap.
