Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/8oz Golden Trout fishing spoon #3274

Stamped clearly with the "LITTLE CLEO" name on its polished brass reverse side, this 1 1/4" (3cm) spoon represents the original production era of the Seneca Lure company before their early 1980s acquisition by Acme. The front face displays the Golden Trout pattern, where a clean white upper edge blends into a saturated yellow-gold body decorated with precise brown spots. Carrying the product code 3274, this metal spoon weighs in at 1/8oz (4g) and is rigged with its original silver-tone treble hook and split rings. The specimen is in excellent condition (5/5), maintaining a high-gloss finish and crisp paint lines across its signature humped profile. Manufactured in the USA, the solid brass construction provides significant durability for casting or trolling applications. The paintwork on this particular lure is exceptionally well-preserved, showing the quality control standards of the Seneca factory.
