Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/8oz Trout / Nickel fishing spoon #6557

Weighing precisely 1/8 oz (3.5 g), the backside of this spoon features a deeply embossed "LITTLE CLEO ®" stamp and weight designation set against a polished nickel finish. The front display is decorated with a Trout pattern, showcasing a soft color gradient that transitions from a creamy off-white top into a light blue center and a pink-tinted bottom edge. Scattered across the blue and pink sections are small dark flecks designed to mimic the natural markings of a trout. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, the metal body retains its original bright-finish treble hook and sturdy split rings. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 6557, is in 5/5 condition with no visible wear to the factory paint or metal plating. Produced by Acme in the USA, the lure's signature humped shape is a functional design element that has remained a standard for casting since its inception.
