Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1 1/4oz red/white/nickel fishing spoon #21171

Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, this substantial spoon is a classic example of American craftsmanship from Acme. The front face is finished with a bold red and white wavy pattern over a nickel base, providing high contrast against the silver-colored metal. On the reverse, the "LITTLE CLEO" and "ACME" names are clearly stamped into the polished surface, identifying its heritage. This 1 1/4 oz (35 g) lure is constructed from heavy-gauge metal, making it an effective choice for casting long distances or trolling. It comes equipped with a large treble hook and a strong split ring at the trailing edge. Cataloged under product code 21171, the piece remains in 5/5 condition with a bright, clean finish. A single line-tie hole is located at the tapered end for rigging.
