Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo UV, 1/3oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #13206

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this spoon features a distinct Fire Tiger pattern that shifts from a rich green to a warm orange across its curved body. Carrying Product Code 13206, this specific Acme Little Cleo UV represents a rare transitional model produced in the USA shortly after Acme's acquisition of the brand. The finish is designed for high visibility, utilizing a coating that reacts to ultraviolet light for better visibility in deeper water. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the construction includes a bright treble hook and split ring for casting and trolling. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing the high-quality paint application and hardware characteristic of this era.
