Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo bubbles, 2/5oz nickel/green fishing spoon #22888

A weight of 2/5oz (11g) gives this spoon plenty of casting range for shore-bound anglers targeting deep pools or lake drop-offs. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the lure features the classic wide-bodied profile that has made the Little Cleo a staple in tackle boxes for decades. The 'bubbles' hammered finish on this specimen provides a multifaceted flash, specifically rendered in a two-tone nickel and green color pattern. This USA-made lure, identified by product code 22888, is in 5/5 condition with the finish and hardware appearing exceptionally well-preserved. On the reverse, the smooth nickel surface is clean and highly reflective, providing a sharp contrast to the textured front. The tail is rigged with a strong treble hook and a durable split ring, maintaining its original factory configuration.
