Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca, 1/4oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #12645

Stamped into the polished metal, the "A SENECA LURE" mark confirms this 1/4oz (7g) spoon predates the early 1980s acquisition by Acme. A distinct strip of vibrant neon green paint runs along one edge of the 1 1/2" (4cm) nickel-plated body, providing a sharp contrast against the high-mirror finish. This particular specimen is rated 5/5, showing an exceptionally clean surface and original hardware. The treble hook remains sharp and is attached via a heavy-duty split ring, characteristic of the USA-made production from that era. Because Seneca used a specific metal gauge before the brand changed hands, these lures are highly regarded for their casting weight and durability. The hole at the head is cleanly punched, allowing for a direct line tie or additional snap for varied presentations.
