Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 3/16oz Copper fishing spoon #8569

Weighing in at 3/16oz (5g), this Little Cleo spoon showcases a warm, reflective Copper finish characteristic of the original Seneca production. Forged in the USA, the 1 1/4" (3cm) stamped metal body features the classic teardrop profile that eventually became a staple of the Acme brand after their acquisition of Seneca Lures in the early 1980s. The hardware on this specimen includes a solid split ring attached to a sharp treble hook, all of which remain in remarkably clean condition, earning a 5/5 rating. Identified by product code 8569, the lure's surface displays a consistent metallic glow with no significant wear. This specific model represents the pre-Acme era of the design, with a single line-tie hole precisely punched at the narrow end for casting or trolling setups.
