Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo bubbles, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #17323

A stamped honeycomb texture wraps across the gold-finished surface of this classic Acme Little Cleo bubbles spoon. Measuring 1 1/4" (3cm) in length and weighing in at 1/8oz (3.5g), this USA-made lure is a prime example of the brand’s enduring metalwork. The specimen is identified by product code 17323 and appears remarkably well-kept, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Each indentation in the "bubbles" pattern is precisely formed to catch and reflect light differently than a standard flat spoon. It comes rigged with a single gold-tone treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring, mirroring the hardware at the line-tie end. This particular size is well-suited for light-tackle casting or trolling applications where a smaller profile is necessary. The rear side of the spoon is smooth, providing a clean contrast to the deeply textured front face.
