Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal, discontinued in 1980s fishing spoon #6024

Faceted crystal patterns dance across the front of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon, a distinct finish that was discontinued after Seneca Lure was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this particular model 6024 features the iconic wide-bodied profile synonymous with the Little Cleo name. The textured "Crystal" surface is designed to catch and scatter light, providing a high-visibility flash through the water column. Flipping the metal over reveals a crisp stamp identifying it as a genuine Seneca Lure made in the USA, distinguishing it from later Acme productions. This specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, with the iridescent gleam of the finish remaining vibrant against the stamped metal. The hardware, including the split rings and treble hook, shows no signs of significant wear, preserving the original factory appearance of this vintage casting spoon.
