Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #5802

Weighing in at a nimble 1/4 oz (7 g), the metal body of this spoon features a distinct hammered texture that catches the light from every angle. Originating from the USA-based Seneca Lure company before their acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s, this 1 1/2" (4 cm) Little Cleo Crystal is a sought-after piece for anyone collecting original Seneca-era tackle. The reverse side bears the clear, deep stamp of 'LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE SENECA LURE,' which distinguishes it from modern reproductions. Assigned product code 5802, the rare Crystal finish provides a multi-faceted shimmer across the hammered surface. The condition is rated 5/5, appearing well-maintained with clean hardware and a stout treble hook attached by a durable split ring.
