Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/16oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #20130

A vibrant nickel/blue finish defines the front of this 1 1/4" (3 cm) spoon, featuring a deep blue translucent layer over the top half that catches the light beautifully. Weighing in at 1/16 oz (1.8 g), this Acme Little Cleo is a precision-engineered piece of American tackle history, stamped with the "LITTLE CLEO" name on its polished nickel backside. Identified by product code 20130, the lure remains in clean 5/5 condition, showing no signs of wear on the plating or the factory-fitted silver treble hook. The hardware includes a robust split ring at the tail, ensuring a secure connection to the hook. Originating from the USA, the spoon's distinct humped shape is a classic design intended for casting in smaller streams and ponds.
