Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/4oz Hammered Nickel / Green fishing spoon #10279

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the distinctive hammered texture on this casting spoon provides a multifaceted reflection intended to catch the eye of predators in various light conditions. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the Acme Little Cleo (Product Code: 10279) is presented in a striking Hammered Nickel / Green color scheme, with the vibrant green paint covering half the face and the remaining half showing the bright nickel base. Its unique humped shape is a hallmark of Acme’s American-made production, designed specifically for long-distance casting and trolling. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring connected to a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure appears exceptionally well-preserved, with the finish on both the hammered front and the smooth reverse side maintaining a brilliant shine.
