Stamped directly into the metal on the convex side is the weight of 2/5oz (11g) along with the "LITTLE CLEO ®" trademark, identifying its heritage from Acme. This specimen, identified by product code 21161, is maintained in excellent form with a condition rating of 5/5. The hardware is comprised of a dark-toned treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring, while the teardrop-shaped body remains free of any noticeable marks. Its construction reflects the traditional manufacturing standards of the USA, where the brand originated.
