Museum Archive: Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #6624

Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic spoon is a genuine piece of Seneca Tackle Co. history from Providence, Rhode Island. The brilliant Gold finish remains factory-bright, preserved in its original bubble packaging as an unused specimen. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the lure features the iconic humped-back profile that established the Little Cleo as a premier choice for casting and trolling. While cataloged under number C 141 on the face of the card, this specific item is identified by product code 6624. The vintage blue-grid textured cardstock predates the era when Acme acquired the Seneca brand, making it a desirable find for those focusing on early regional tackle makers. Looking closely through the plastic, the original hardware is clearly visible, including the heavy-duty split ring and bronze treble hook. Every detail, from the "Wigl-Lure" branding to the "Made and Printed in U.S.A." stamp, points to the high manufacturing standards of the mid-20th century.
