Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal fishing spoon #8326

Faceted surfaces on the hammered gold body distinguish this Seneca-era Little Cleo Crystal, a piece of American tackle history produced before the early 1980s Acme takeover. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the spoon measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and carries the hallmark "LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE A SENECA LURE" stamp clearly on its concave side. The Crystal color designation refers to the specific multi-angled texture designed to catch light, paired with a classic copper-colored split ring and a sharp, original treble hook. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen carries the product code 8326 and is preserved in 5/5 condition. Its heavy-set, curved profile reflects the original Seneca engineering intended for casting and trolling, representing a specific era of lure production before the brand's transition to Acme.
