Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz Yellow fishing spoon #10105

Adorned with a vibrant yellow finish and striking black dots, this specimen represents the classic casting spoon design that earned its reputation decades ago. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure features the iconic humped shape characteristic of the series. On the reverse side, the brass surface is clearly stamped with the Seneca brand name, identifying it as a pre-1980s production before the Acme acquisition. This specific model, product code 10105, includes polished brass diagonal stripes that break up the yellow paint, adding contrast to the metal body. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, all preserved in 5/5 condition. The lettering for "Little Cleo" and "Seneca Tackle Co." remains crisp and deeply embossed into the metal. Originating from the USA, the construction highlights the manufacturing standards of the original Seneca Lure company. A single, cleanly punched hole at the nose is provided for line or swivel attachment.
