Museum Archive: Acme Little Cleo, 1/3oz White / Red fishing spoon #2219

A weight of 1/3 oz (9.5 g) provides the necessary ballast for long casts with this Acme Little Cleo spoon, finished in a traditional white and red color scheme. This specimen, carrying product code 2219, is presented in its original retail packaging and is in unused condition, rating 6. The spoon’s surface is stamped with the model number C-100 and the weight, ensuring easy identification in a tackle box. Proudly made in the USA, the hardware includes a heavy-duty split ring connecting a needle-sharp treble hook to the tail of the lure. The characteristic hump-backed profile of the metal body is visible through the clear blister pack, which also details the lure's long history in North American sportfishing. This specific White / Red variation is a collector-grade example of a design that has remained largely unchanged for decades, intended for casting or trolling in pursuit of gamefish.
