Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca, 3/16oz Сopper/red fishing spoon #16659

Split down the middle, the face of this spoon features a striking copper and red finish that contrasts beautifully under the light. Stamped clearly on the reverse is the iconic 'LITTLE CLEO' lettering, a hallmark of these Seneca lures manufactured in the USA. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) and weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g), this specimen carries the product code 16659. The hardware remains in top form, featuring a robust treble hook and secure split rings. This specific spoon is in a condition rated 5/5, showing the careful preservation of its metallic luster and the vibrant red paint on the left half of the blade. The teardrop shape is a classic design intended for casting across various freshwater environments. The dual-tone finish provides a distinct visual profile that changes depending on the angle of the light reflecting off the copper surface.
