Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 3/16oz White Pearl / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #7784

Glimmering White Pearl paint gives way to a vibrant Red tip on the front of this 3/16 oz (5 g) casting spoon. Produced by the Seneca Lure Co. in the USA before the brand was absorbed by Acme in the early 1980s, this Little Cleo (Product Code: 7784) is a staple of mid-century tackle design. The 1 1/4" (3 cm) body features a distinctive wide-bellied profile intended for both casting and trolling applications. Its nickel-plated reverse is clearly embossed with the 'LITTLE CLEO' logo, reflecting the production standards of earlier American manufacturing. The specimen is rated 5/5, maintaining a clean finish on the pearlized paint and a high-luster shine on the bare metal. Hardware consists of a single split ring and a sharp, well-preserved treble hook.
