Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 2/5oz fishing spoon #21508

Weighing in at a substantial 2/5 oz (11 g), this spoon features a distinct dual-tone finish that divides the front face between a vibrant chartreuse paint and a highly polished nickel. The reverse side of this Acme Little Cleo is stamped with the classic brand name and weight designation, ensuring its authenticity for collectors and anglers alike. Carrying product code 21508, the lure measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and displays a 5/5 condition rating, with the metallic surfaces retaining their original mirror-like luster. The hardware is comprised of stainless split rings at both ends, with the rear ring securing a sharp, bronze-finished treble hook. This specific weight class is often selected by technical anglers for its casting distance and stability when working through varied water columns. The paint application is exceptionally crisp, meeting the polished nickel at a sharp center line to create a high-contrast visual profile.
