Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/4oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #12515

Gold and red tones split the front of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) metal spoon, creating a high-contrast visual profile. At a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), it provides enough heft for accurate casting while remaining compact enough for a wide range of freshwater species. The reverse side features the deeply embossed "LITTLE CLEO" and "1/4 OZ" markings, confirming its American heritage and specific model identification. For collectors and anglers alike, the 5/5 condition is notable, as the metallic plating remains bright and the red paint is remarkably well-preserved. It is equipped with a gold-finish split ring and a sharp, bronzed treble hook designed for secure hooksets. Identified by Product Code 12515, the spoon's thick-cut metal body is a testament to the durable construction Acme lures are known for. A small line tie hole is precisely drilled at the narrow end, allowing for a direct knot or a snap swivel connection.
