Museum Archive: Seneca Little Cleo, 3/16oz fishing spoon #23377

Measuring 1 1/4" (3cm) in length, this classic spoon features a distinctive blue and white honeycomb pattern accented by a bold gold vertical stripe. The back of the polished spoon is clearly stamped with the "LITTLE CLEO" name, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production prior to the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Weighing 3/16oz (5g), the hardware includes a robust silver-tone treble hook and a strong split ring designed for reliable casting or trolling. This specific specimen, identified by product code 23377, remains in unused condition and showcases the high-quality finish expected from vintage USA-made tackle. The weight and teardrop shape are characteristic of Seneca's original design, intended for a variety of freshwater species. It is a well-preserved piece of angling history, retaining its factory luster and crisp paint details.
