Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/16oz gold/red fishing spoon #20354

Tipping the scales at a lightweight 1/16 oz (1.8 g), this classic metal spoon features a distinct split-color pattern across its teardrop-shaped body. The front side is divided vertically, with one half finished in a vibrant red and the other in a polished gold plating. Flipping the lure over reveals the iconic "LITTLE CLEO" stamp deeply recessed into the smooth metallic surface. This 1 1/4" (3 cm) specimen, identified by product code 20354, originates from the USA and maintains a well-preserved appearance rated at 4/5. Designed for light-line casting, its construction includes a single hook finished in a matching red coating, which provides a cohesive visual profile. Durable split rings are attached to both the line-tie and the hook mounting point, a hallmark of Acme’s manufacturing standards for their spoon series.
