Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/4oz Green / Yellow / Nickel fishing spoon #12746

Stamped clearly into the nickel-plated reverse, the "LITTLE CLEO ®" name and 1/4 oz. (7 g) weight mark identify this spoon as a genuine piece of North American angling history. A vibrant green-to-yellow gradient covers the convex surface, a classic Acme color scheme designed to maximize visibility across various water clarities. While the painted finish shows some character marks and light chipping along the edges from time spent in a tackle box, the underlying metal remains bright, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. The hardware on this 1 1/2" (4 cm) specimen consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, hallmarks of the reliable USA-made construction collectors expect from this brand. This specific lure, identified by product code 12746, features the iconic humped body shape that has made the Little Cleo a favorite for casting in both still and moving water.
