Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #15053

Weighing in at 1/3oz (9g), this gold-finished spoon carries the classic stamped identification that has made Acme a household name among trout and salmon anglers. Measuring exactly 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the solid brass body features the distinct "Wig-L Lure" engraving on the underside, a hallmark of its USA-made heritage. The polished gold surface remains exceptionally bright, complemented by a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook that show no signs of use. Identified by product code 15053, this specimen maintains a condition rating of 5/5, exhibiting a clean and lustrous exterior across its unique hump-backed profile. The stamped weight and branding are deeply impressed into the metal, ensuring the markings remain perfectly legible. This specific model's density and aerodynamic shape are designed for long-distance casting from the bank or pier.
