Museum Archive: Vintage Acme LIttle Cleo, 2/5oz nickel/red/white fishing spoon #19393

At a solid 2/5 oz (11g), the weight is boldly stamped into the polished nickel underside of this classic Acme Little Cleo. This particular spoon, assigned product code 19393, measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and displays the recognizable red and white scalloped paint pattern across its face. The USA-made craftsmanship is evident in the heavy-duty split rings and the sharp treble hook that remains in excellent shape. Rated at a 4/5 for condition, the painted finish shows very little wear, maintaining its vibrant contrast against the metal body. The reverse side's nickel plating remains reflective, making the manufacturer and weight stampings easy to read for any curator or angler. This 2/5 oz (11g) model is a heavy-casting staple, built with the thickness necessary to handle deep-water retrieves or steady trolling.
