Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #9940

Weighing in at a substantial 1 1/4 oz (35g), this Acme Little Cleo represents a classic American casting spoon built for distance. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, the lure's front face features a distinctive split-color design where a vibrant blue stripe contrasts against the polished nickel base. On the reverse, the clean nickel surface is clearly stamped with the "LITTLE CLEO" name, identifying its USA-made heritage. This specimen, listed under product code 9940, is rigged with a robust single hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. The condition is rated 5/5, exhibiting a high-gloss finish and clear, crisp paintwork across the entire metal body.
