Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo vintage, 1/2oz brass fishing spoon #19668

Crafted with a warm brass finish, this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon provides a fascinating glimpse into mid-century tackle evolution. The concave interior bears the "WIGL LURE" stamp alongside the "LITTLE CLEO" name, marking it as a rare transitional specimen from the timeframe just after Acme purchased the design. At a length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the heavy-gauge metal is purpose-built for casting or trolling. The original treble hook is securely attached via a robust split ring, showing the quality of USA manufacturing from this era. This specific example, identified by product code 19668, shows virtually no wear on its polished surfaces and is assigned a 5/5 condition rating.
