Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo bubbles, 1/3oz gold fishing spoon #18326

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the distinctive hammered texture on this gold specimen provides a multifaceted visual profile compared to standard smooth spoons. The "bubbles" pattern, a finish that is no longer in production, is stamped into the convex side to break up light reflection, while the concave interior maintains a highly polished, mirror-like gold surface. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this USA-made casting lure carries the product code 18326 and features its original hardware, including brass-toned split rings and a bronzed treble hook. This particular Acme Little Cleo bubbles is in 5/5 condition, exhibiting a clean finish without signs of wear. The teardrop profile and dense construction are characteristic of the brand's classic hardware design for freshwater applications.
