Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/8oz nickel/green fishing spoon #21472

A vibrant lime green and polished nickel finish defines the visual appeal of this compact spoon, which measures 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) in length. Weighing exactly 1/8 oz (3.5 g), the curved metal body features a clean, embossed 'LITTLE CLEO' stamp on the reverse side. This specimen, assigned product code 21472, remains in 5/5 condition with a bright surface and a sharp, silver-toned treble hook. The construction is sturdy, utilizing split rings at both the line tie and the hook attachment point to ensure the hardware stays secure. Manufactured by Acme in the USA, the design relies on the sharp longitudinal contrast between the painted green section and the reflective nickel plating to create a distinct profile when casting or trolling.
