Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #17016

Hammered surfaces define the "Crystal" finish on this 1/4 oz (7g) spoon, designed to maximize light reflection as it travels through the water. At a length of 1 1/2" (4cm), the heavy-gauged brass body carries the iconic teardrop shape that Seneca perfected for casting efficiency in the USA. The reverse side is clearly stamped with "LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE A SENECA LURE," providing a direct link to its vintage manufacturing roots. This piece carries product code 17016 and remains in top-tier condition, rated 5/5 for its clean plating and well-preserved hardware. The metal split ring secures a treble hook that shows very little wear, preserving the lure's authentic vintage profile. Subtle variations in the faceted face catch the light across the entire gold-toned surface.
