Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo bubbles, 1/8oz gold fishing spoon #23406

A distinctive honeycomb 'bubbles' texture defines the front of the gold-colored spoon, breaking up light reflections in the water. This Acme Little Cleo bubbles, assigned product code 23406, represents a classic USA-made design favored for its manageable 1/8 oz (3.5 g) weight. The specimen measures exactly 1 1/4" (3 cm) and carries a consistent gold finish across its contoured body and the attached treble hook. On the reverse, the metal is smooth and polished, highlighting the iconic teardrop shape that has defined Acme’s production for decades. The piece maintains an excellent 5/5 condition, with the hardware remaining sharp and the plated surface free of any marks or dullness. The textured surface on the convex side provides a different visual profile than the standard smooth-finish Cleos often found in vintage tackle boxes.
