Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 2/5oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #19554

Exactly 2/5 oz. (11 g) in weight, the stamped metal body of this spoon features a vibrant nickel and blue split finish. Identified by product code 19554, this specimen highlights the precise craftsmanship of the Acme brand, with a reflective surface that transitions from deep metallic blue to polished nickel. The concave backside is clearly stamped with 'LITTLE CLEO 2/5 OZ.' and the trademark star logo, signifying its American manufacturing roots. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the broad teardrop shape is paired with a reliable split ring and a bright treble hook. This lure is in 5/5 condition and is unused, exhibiting no marks or scratches on the hardware or the painted surface. The clean line tie hole at the nose and the solid weight distribution speak to its utility for casting or trolling.
