Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 2/5oz Rainbow Trout fishing spoon #11688

Stamping on the reverse of this 2/5oz (11g) spoon clearly identifies it as a genuine USA-made classic. The 'Rainbow Trout' finish is meticulously applied, featuring a soft gradient from a rosy pink upper edge to a bright yellow lower section, with a reflective silver-white core accented by six bold black spots. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this specimen remains in pristine state, earning a 5/5 condition rating. The heavy-gauge metal body is paired with durable stainless steel split rings and a strong treble hook, making it a robust choice for casting or trolling. Identified by product code 11688, the Acme Little Cleo is well-known among collectors for its distinct, stamped 'Little Cleo' branding and weight designation on the polished silver backside.
