Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca, 1/16oz fishing spoon #16588

A striking half-painted orange diagonal stripe adorns the polished chrome surface of this vintage spoon, identifying it as a recognizable Seneca production. Weighing in at a delicate 1/16oz (1.8g), this lure is designed for ultra-light casting applications where subtle presentation is key. On the concave back, the "LITTLE CLEO" name is clearly stamped into the metal, a hallmark of this iconic American-made series produced under product code 16588. The hardware includes sturdy split rings at both the nose and tail, with the rear ring securing a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. At 1 1/4" (3cm) long, the body retains its bright reflective finish, showcasing the high manufacturing standards of the era. This specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, showing exceptionally well-preserved paint and metalwork. The orange accents provide high visibility in various water conditions, while the silver side ensures maximum flash.
