Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #6873

Red and white paint covers the front of this 1 1/2" (4cm) spoon, creating a high-contrast visual profile with a distinctive wavy center stripe. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the metal body is stamped on the reverse with "LITTLE CLEO ®" and its weight, confirming its American manufacturing heritage. In a 4/5 condition, the back of the spoon shows soft signs of its history with some surface wear and darkening of the nickel plating, though the painted side is well-preserved. Product code 6873 is assigned to this specific specimen, which retains its original split ring and sharp treble hook.
