Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/3oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #15174

Nickel and orange split finishes distinguish this 1/3 oz (9 g) casting spoon, which measures exactly 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length. Carrying the product code 15174, this specimen is a rare transitional model produced immediately following Acme's acquisition of the line. The reverse side features a crisp stamp displaying "LITTLE CLEO" and the "WIGGLER" designation, retaining the original branding style favored by collectors. This nickel-plated back is exceptionally clean, reflecting a 5/5 condition that indicates the lure has been well-preserved. For hardware, it utilizes a sharp, silver-finished treble hook secured by a robust split ring at the tail. As a USA-made piece, the weight stamp is positioned precisely in the center of the concave body, between the line tie and the hook eyelet.
