Finished in a distinct gold Crystal pattern, this 1/4oz (7g) spoon catches the light across its deeply textured, hammered face. Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the "LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE A SENECA LURE" mark, identifying it as a genuine pre-1980s piece from the original Seneca Lure Company of the USA before the brand was absorbed by Acme. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, the lure retains its original bronzed treble hook and split ring assembly. The hammered "broken glass" effect, known as the Crystal finish, is a less common variant that collectors specifically seek in these older brass castings. This specimen is well-preserved, showing a bright, even tone across the metal with a condition rating of 5/5. Item identification is tracked under product code 18918. The heavy-gauge construction of this vintage lure is designed for distance casting or steady trolling techniques.
