Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo bubbles, 3/4oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #21168

Deeply textured bubble scales adorn the convex side of this 2 1/2" (6.5cm) casting spoon, split down the center between a vibrant blue and a polished nickel plating. Known to collectors and anglers alike as the Acme Little Cleo bubbles, this specific specimen carries the product code 21168 and was manufactured in the USA. The 3/4oz (21g) weight provides substantial mass for long-distance casting or trolling applications. Flipping the lure over reveals a smooth, clean nickel back that contrasts with the textured front. The hardware is well-preserved, featuring a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, supporting a condition rating of 5/5. This classic hump-backed profile by Acme remains a standout due to its robust metal construction and the distinctive hammered-style pattern that catches light effectively.
