Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 3/16oz nickel/green fishing spoon #19273

Striking nickel and green finishes define this 1 1/4" (3 cm) spoon, a true piece of American fishing history. Before Acme took over the brand in the early 1980s, these lures were produced by the Seneca Lure company in the USA. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g), this specimen carries the product code 19273. The front side features a distinct vertical split, where one half is a bright, solid lime green and the other retains the reflective nickel luster. Flipping the lure over reveals the classic "LITTLE CLEO" stamp pressed into the polished metal back. Its condition is remarkable, rated at 5/5, showing a clean surface and sharp hardware. A silver-toned treble hook is securely attached to the rear with a robust split ring, while the front has a cleanly drilled hole for the line tie.
