Vintage Acme Little Cleo bubbles, 1/8oz gold fishing spoon #21842

Weighing in at a nimble 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this classic Acme Little Cleo showcases the iconic "bubbles" or hammered scale pattern that has made this series a staple for decades. The gold finish on the 1 1/4" (3 cm) body provides a textured surface that captures light differently than a smooth spoon, a design choice Acme perfected in their USA factory. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 21842, features the traditional teardrop shape that allows for long-distance casting even with its light weight. The hardware remains robust, featuring a sharp treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. In a condition rated at 5/5, the polished gold surface is remarkably well-preserved, maintaining the luster collectors look for in vintage Little Cleos. The underside remains smooth, contrasting with the detailed scale-like stamping on the face.
