Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #9440

Stamped clearly on the nickel plating are the words "LITTLE CLEO", "WIGL-LURE", and "SENECA LURE," marking this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon as a piece of angling history from the original manufacturer. Seneca Lure Co. produced these iconic lures in the USA before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. The finish is a bright, classic Nickel that reflects light across its distinct, wide-bodied shape. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the spoon is built for casting. For the collector, the product code 9440 identifies this specific variant. Rated 5/5, the specimen remains in excellent condition with a clean, reflective surface and its original treble hook hardware securely attached by a split ring.
