Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo Glow, 2/5oz Blue / White / Nickel fishing spoon #8688

Glow-in-the-dark coating applied to half the spoon's face distinguishes this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) Acme Little Cleo Glow from standard finishes. Designated as product code 8688, the lure pairs a deep blue paint with a luminescent white section that holds a charge for night or deep-water visibility. The stamped metal body is manufactured in the USA and weighs in at 2/5oz (11g). In a 5/5 condition, the hardware remains clean, featuring a sturdy treble hook attached via a strong split ring. The reverse side carries a nickel-plated finish, providing a bright contrast to the matte blue and glowing white front. This particular specimen is a fine example of Acme's specialized "glow" series, designed for anglers targeting fish in turbid waters or during dawn and dusk.
