Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/8oz Frog / Nickel fishing spoon #3273

Speckled yellow and green paint with five large black dots defines the front of this 1 1/4" (3cm) spoon, a pattern often referred to as 'Frog.' The reverse side features a polished nickel finish with a crisp 'LITTLE CLEO' stamp, identifying it as an original Seneca Lure product made in the USA. Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g), this specimen carries product code 3273 and dates to the era before the company was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. The hardware is comprised of original split rings and a sharp treble hook, all appearing in 5/5 condition with no visible signs of use. This particular lure is a staple for those hunting trout or panfish, utilizing a dense metal build that aids in casting distance despite its diminutive size.
