Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo bubbles, 2/3oz nickel/gold/green/blue fishing spoon #18985

Weighing in at 2/3 oz (18 g), this American-made spoon features a distinctive hexagonal "bubbles" texture stamped across its convex surface. This specific Acme specimen, identified by product code 18985, displays a vivid multi-tonal finish that gradients from a deep blue at the line-tie down through emerald green and gold, ending in a bright chartreuse at the hook end. The reverse side is finished in a clean, polished nickel, providing a high-contrast flash. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the heavy-gauge metal construction is paired with a silver-tone split ring and a sharp, sturdy treble hook. This Little Cleo is in 5/5 condition, with the paint and plated hardware maintaining their original factory luster and integrity. The weight and aerodynamic shape make it a specialized tool for long-distance casting or reaching lower water columns in moving current.
