Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 3/16oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #14630

Nickel and blue split the finish of this spoon right down the middle, creating a high-contrast look that stands out in any collection. Stamped with 'LITTLE CLEO 3/16 OZ' on the reverse, the metal body reflects the straightforward manufacturing quality of Acme lures made in the USA. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length and weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), the lure is sized for light-tackle casting applications. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook attached by a sturdy split ring at the rear. Looking at the condition, it is a 5/5, as both the polished nickel surface and the blue coating remain bright and free of marks. Product code 14630 distinguishes this particular version of the legendary teardrop-shaped lure.
