Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal (Golden Scale) fishing spoon #11102

Hammered scales in a "Crystal" pattern catch the light across the surface of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) vintage spoon. Stamped with the distinctive "Little Cleo Wigl-Lure A Seneca Lure" marking, this piece represents the original production era before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. The Crystal (Golden Scale) finish provides a deeply textured surface designed to mimic light refracting off fish scales. At a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure is outfitted with its original hardware and a strong treble hook, showcasing the classic USA manufacturing standards of the period. Identified by product code 11102, this specimen is in excellent condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its well-preserved finish and crisp metal stampings. The teardrop body design is weighted specifically for long-distance casting and trolling applications.
