Nickel and fluorescent red are split down the center of this classic Acme Little Cleo, a design known for balancing metallic flash with high-visibility color. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), this specific specimen measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and carries the product code 16879. The unique paint application on the red half reveals a strong glow under low-light conditions, as seen in the secondary image, which assists in visibility during deep-water retrieves. Manufactured in the USA, the spoon maintains a clean appearance with its original hardware and treble hook still securely attached. It sits at a condition rating of 4/5, showing light signs of use while preserving its reflective qualities and structural integrity. The distinct hump-backed shape of the Acme stamped metal is a signature design element that has remained consistent throughout the company's production history. A sturdy split ring connects the rear hook to the body, providing a reliable connection for a variety of casting applications.
