Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca, 1/4oz Gold / Red / White fishing spoon #15964

Five crisp white polka dots against a vibrant red backdrop characterize the upper diagonal section of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic casting specimen is a genuine vintage artifact from Seneca Lure, manufactured in the USA before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. The high-polish gold finish on the lower half provides a sharp visual contrast to the painted section, while the reverse side features the distinct stamped inscription: "LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE SENECA LURE." Equipped with a robust split ring and a black-finished treble hook, this lure, identified by product code 15964, appears unused and is rated in 5/5 condition. The teardrop profile and stamped brass construction represent the original design specifications that made the Seneca-produced Little Cleo a staple in many legacy tackle boxes.
