Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #10307

A vibrant blue half-stripe contrasts sharply against the polished nickel finish on this classic casting spoon. Tipping the scales at 1/4 oz (7 g), the metal body measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and features the distinctive wide-bellied shape that defines the Acme Little Cleo profile. On the reverse side, the authentic "LITTLE CLEO 1/4 OZ" stamping is clear and deep, accompanied by the registered trademark symbol, confirming its American heritage. This particular specimen, identified by product code 10307, remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing a reflective, mirror-like surface on the nickel side with no signs of use. The hardware is robust, consisting of a stout split ring at the rear which secures a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. Designed for durability, the spoon includes a cleanly drilled line tie hole at the narrower head end, ready for a snap or direct knot.
