Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #20900

The 'Crystal' finish on this specimen features a distinctive hammered texture often referred to as 'broken glass,' designed to produce a multi-directional flash. Stamped on the concave side, the Seneca Lure Co. branding identifies this as a pre-1980s piece, manufactured before the brand was acquired by Acme. At a length of 1 1/2" (4 cm) and a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), the spoon's density is optimized for distance casting. The clear lettering on the back reads 'LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE A SENECA LURE,' reflecting the original nomenclature used by the New York manufacturer. It is rigged with its original treble hook and split ring hardware. In a condition rated 5/5, the metallic surface remains bright and the details of the stamp are sharp. This USA-made lure is cataloged under product code 20900.
