Museum Archive: Seneca Little Cleo, 3/16oz red/nickel fishing spoon #19132

Orange-red paint across the convex face is accented by three diagonal nickel stripes and a series of black dots on this classic 3/16 oz (5 g) spoon. Measuring 1 1/4" (3.2 cm), the lure carries the product code 19132 and is a prime example of the Seneca Lure Company's craftsmanship before their acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. The reverse side features the distinct "LITTLE CLEO" stamp deeply impressed into the metal, identifying its origin from the original USA-based production. This specimen remains unused, showing a clean nickel finish on the interior and well-preserved paint on the exterior. It comes equipped with a silver-tone treble hook attached by a robust split ring, designed for dependable casting performance.
