Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #16515

A distinct hammered texture characterizes the Crystal finish on this metal spoon, catching light from multiple angles while submerged. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7g), this specimen carries the heritage of the Seneca Lure brand, an important name in vintage American tackle. The backside is clearly stamped with the classic "Little Cleo" and "Wigl-Lure" identifiers, along with the manufacturer’s name, all of which remain sharp and legible. This specific item, identified by product code 16515, is in 5/5 condition, showing a well-preserved surface and sturdy original hardware including the split ring and treble hook. Its design is intended for varied techniques such as casting or trolling in both still and moving water. The construction features the characteristic offset curve that has defined this model for decades, ensuring the spoon maintains its position without line twist during a steady retrieve.
