Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz Red / White / Gold fishing spoon #10813

Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic casting spoon represents the original production era by Seneca Lure before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. The front face is finished in a high-contrast red and white wavy pattern, a signature design for visibility across various light conditions. On the reverse side, the brass-toned metal is deeply stamped with the "LITTLE CLEO WIGL LURE SENECA LURE" branding, verifying its American manufacturing roots under product code 10813. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the body is paired with a weathered treble hook attached via a robust split ring. Given its 4/5 condition rating, the lure remains well-preserved, showing only minor signs of its age while keeping the stamped lettering sharp and the painted surface intact. This specimen captures the specific material quality and stamping depth characteristic of the Seneca factory's original output.
