Museum Archive: Acme Little Cleo, 3/16oz nickel fishing spoon #18828

A bright nickel finish defines the 1 1/4" (3 cm) stamped body of this vintage Acme Little Cleo, offering high reflectivity for various light conditions. This specimen, carrying product code 18828, weighs 3/16 oz (5 g) and features the iconic hump-backed shape that has been a mainstay of the Providence, Rhode Island, tackle scene for decades. The lure is presented in its original factory packaging, which has kept the heavy-gauge metal and treble hook hardware in excellent state since leaving the USA production line. As an unused item, it holds a condition rating of 6, with the polished surface and carding remaining intact. The solid construction of this spoon is intended for both casting and trolling applications, providing the weight necessary for reaching deeper water columns.
