Museum Archive: Acme Little Cleo, 1/3oz White / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #2714

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9.5 g), this spoon displays a polished nickel finish with a vibrant red paint application on the lead end. This specific Acme Little Cleo, cataloged under product code 2714 and model C100/PRH, remains in its original packaging and is unused, reflecting a condition rating of 6. The design is characterized by its signature hump-backed profile, a technical choice intended to mimic the silhouette of a fat baitfish during a steady retrieve. Manufactured in the USA, the lure is equipped with a standard silver-tone treble hook and split ring. The packaging itself features the traditional blue and orange Acme branding, which highlights its long-standing history in North American tackle boxes. Light reflects clearly off the smooth stamped metal surface, emphasizing the transition from the red-painted tip to the silver-toned nickel body.
