Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #17665

Stamped into the concave metal of the reverse are the words 'LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE A SENECA LURE,' identifying this specimen as a pre-1980s production from the original manufacturer. The 1 1/2" (4cm) body is adorned with the 'Crystal' finish, a rare variation that utilizes a multifaceted prismatic pattern to mimic broken glass or golden scales. Carrying a weight of 1/4oz (7g), the spoon is structured for casting efficiency in various freshwater environments. The hardware consists of a robust split ring and a treble hook, all maintaining a 5/5 condition. Identified by product code 17665, the lure features the classic wide, humped profile characteristic of the Cleo series. The reflective prismatic surface remains bright and clear across the entire convex side.
