Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/4oz Copper / Red fishing spoon #5649

Copper and red split the face of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon, creating a high-contrast visual that remains sharp after years in storage. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the metal body carries a significant hump in its profile, a signature design element from Acme based in the USA. Flipping the lure over reveals the deeply stamped 'LITTLE CLEO ® 1/4 OZ.' lettering on the polished reverse side. This specific item, listed under product code 5649, is equipped with a heavy-duty split ring connecting the body to a sharp treble hook. Rated in 5/5 condition, the paint and metal surfaces are free of chips or oxidation, retaining their original luster. The hardware is firmly attached, ensuring the lure is ready for casting straight from the tackle box.
