Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/8oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #7783

Red and white paint applied in a distinct wavy pattern across the convex side characterizes this 1 1/4" (3cm) casting spoon. Stamped directly into the polished nickel reverse is the "LITTLE CLEO" branding, signifying its origin with the Seneca Lure company prior to their acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. This 1/8oz (4g) specimen, identified by product code 7783, showcases the classic American craftsmanship expected from a vintage USA-made lure. The surface remains exceptionally well-maintained, warranting a 5/5 condition rating with its bright pigments and clean metal. A simple split ring secures a bright treble hook, ready for use or display alongside other historical metal baits. The teardrop shape and weight distribution make it a versatile tool for various casting techniques.
