Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal (Golden Scale) fishing spoon #11405

Stamped clearly on the reverse side with the Seneca Lure hallmark, this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon represents a piece of American tackle history from before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. The 1/4 oz (7 g) metal body is finished in the rare Crystal (Golden Scale) pattern, designed with a faceted texture that resembles broken glass to catch light effectively while casting or trolling. Bearing product code 11405, this specific specimen is maintained in 5/5 condition, preserving the integrity of its vintage USA-made construction. The back of the spoon features the deep engraving "LITTLE CLEO WIGL LURE SENECA LURE," which distinguishes it from later mass-produced versions. It remains a significant example of mid-century design with its original hardware and highly reflective golden surface.
