Museum Archive: Acme Little Cleo, 1/8oz Red / White fishing spoon #2229

Red and white zig-zag patterns define the finish on this 1/8 oz (3.5g) Acme Little Cleo, a hallmark of traditional spoon design. Identified by product code 2229, this particular specimen remains unused, still sealed in its original retail bubble pack for a condition rating of 6. The distinctive hump-backed profile is stamped from metal and fitted with a single treble hook attached via a split ring. This USA-manufactured lure carries the classic light blue Acme packaging, which lists the model as C-180. The simple color scheme of bold red against a crisp white center stripe is a legacy pattern for this brand, designed for high visibility across various water conditions. Every technical detail, from the crisp lettering on the card to the clean finish of the metal, reflects its well-preserved state.
