Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal / Gold fishing spoon #5533

A weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) provides a solid foundation for this compact 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon, which features a highly reflective Crystal / Gold finish. Collectors will recognize the block lettering stamped on the back as the mark of Seneca Lure, the original manufacturer before the brand was absorbed by Acme in the early 1980s. This specimen, identified by product code 5533, retains a high-quality 5/5 condition, showing a bright, faceted surface designed to catch and reflect light from many angles. The hardware consists of a classic treble hook attached via a metal split ring, paired with a clean line-tie hole at the opposing end. Its construction is characteristic of vintage American tackle, designed for durability across a variety of fishing environments.
