Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #16089

Gleaming with a classic Gold finish, this specimen represents the original era of a legendary spoon design from the USA. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the Little Cleo was originally crafted by the Seneca Lure Company. It is worth noting for collectors that Seneca was the innovator behind this shape before the brand was eventually absorbed by Acme in the early 1980s. The specimen features the classic teardrop body construction, paired with a sharp treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. Given its 5/5 condition, the polished metal surface remains exceptionally bright. The line tie hole at the tapered end is cleanly drilled, showcasing the manufacturing quality typical of early Seneca production (Product Code: 16089).
