Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/8oz white pearl/red/nickel fishing spoon #18987

Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm), this Seneca Little Cleo features a distinct white pearl finish accented by a vibrant red tip on its narrow end. Stamped clearly on the polished nickel backside is the iconic "LITTLE CLEO" branding, a hallmark of American-made spoons from the Seneca era. At 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this specimen represents the smaller, finesse-oriented end of the line, ideal for casting toward panfish or trout in light current. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, both showing the well-maintained quality expected of a piece rated 5/5. Originating from the USA under product code 18987, the lure exhibits the classic wide-bodied, humped shape designed for stability during casting and trolling. The nickel-plated reverse side provides a high-contrast flash against the painted front, a finish detail that remains sharp on this particular specimen.
