Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 3/16oz Gold fishing spoon #16587

Gleaming in a classic Gold finish, the metal body of this specimen is deeply stamped with its identification and weight, matching the specific 1 1/4" (3 cm) profile. Cataloged as product code 16587, this Acme Little Cleo weighs in at 3/16 oz (5 g), though the stamping on the reverse side of this particular spoon displays 1/6 oz, a common characteristic in certain production runs of this era. The lure is in exceptional 5/5 condition, appearing unused with a clean, reflective surface. Every component, from the split rings to the treble hook, carries the same gold plating, providing a cohesive aesthetic synonymous with high-quality USA-made tackle. Its characteristic wide, humped-back design is specifically engineered for casting, offering a distinct profile that has remained a mainstay in the Acme lineup for decades.
