Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 2/5oz Orange fishing spoon #13134

Orange paint covers the entire surface of this Acme Little Cleo, featuring a distinctive hammered texture on the front to catch light from multiple angles. This 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, identified by product code 13134, weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and represents a classic design in American metal lures. The signature wide, humpbacked profile is the hallmark of the Little Cleo series, a shape that dictates how the water flows over the metal during casting or trolling. Evaluated at a condition of 5/5, the specimen appears exceptionally well-maintained with no loss of the bright pigment. A sharp treble hook is attached at the tail with a split ring, paired with a standard line-tie hole at the head.
