Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #12181

Hammered textures on the Crystal finish catch light from every angle, mimicking the shimmer of baitfish scales. This 1/4oz (7g) specimen features the classic Seneca Lure stamp on the concave side, a hallmark from before Acme Tackle Company acquired the brand in the early 1980s. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm), the spoon retains its original brilliance and is rated at 5/5 for its preservation. Stamped with the Little Cleo Wigl-Lure name and the Seneca manufacturer mark, it represents a period of American tackle history before production shifted. The plating remains bright across the dimpled surface, and the original split rings and treble hook show no signs of aging. The product code 12181 identifies this specific Crystal pattern, which remains a notable find compared to standard smooth or painted finishes of the later era.
