Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca, 1/4oz fishing spoon #15539

A weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) makes this classic spoon a versatile choice for a variety of freshwater species. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the body follows the iconic S-curve silhouette that anglers have trusted for generations. This Seneca-branded model, carrying product code 15539, is finished in a high-contrast orange and white striped pattern. Under a blacklight, the orange sections reveal a powerful fluorescence, which helps the lure maintain visibility in stained water or during dawn and dusk transitions. Manufactured in the USA, the construction quality reflects the durable standards of its time. The specimen is in excellent condition, rated at 5/5, showing a clean surface and well-maintained hardware including the original split ring and treble hook. The stamped metal reflects light effectively, showcasing the specific taper and bend of this Seneca-era production.
