Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #15814

Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm), the reverse side of this spoon carries the deep, legible stamp of Seneca Lure, identifying it as a pre-1980s piece from the original creators of the Little Cleo. Collectors will recognize the rarity of this Crystal finish, which overlays a gold-toned base with a texture resembling broken glass to create a multifaceted reflective effect. At a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), it is outfitted with a sharp gold-finish treble hook and a robust split ring, remaining in impeccable condition with a 5/5 rating. Categorized under product code 15814, this USA-made specimen showcases the manufacturing style present before Acme's acquisition of the company. The iridescent coating is flawlessly preserved, catching light across the entire surface of the curved metal body. Each indentation in the 'broken glass' pattern remains sharp, contrasting against the smooth, polished back of the lure.
