Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/16oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #3770

Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (1.8 g), this thinner trolling-specific specimen is a refined version of a legendary design. The 1 1/4" (3 cm) blade features a striking split-finish, with half the surface in polished nickel and the other half in a vibrant, metallic green. On the reverse side, the classic "LITTLE CLEO" brand mark is clearly stamped into the metal, confirming its origin and quality from Acme’s USA manufacturing. This particular lure, identified by Product Code 3770, is built on a lighter gauge of metal than standard casting versions to suit the specific speeds of a trolling presentation. The hardware remains in 5/5 condition, featuring a strong split ring and a bright treble hook that shows no signs of use. The dual-tone finish retains its original luster, providing a high-contrast visual that remains crisp across both the plated and painted surfaces.
