Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo Crystal, 1/4oz Crystal (Golden Scale) fishing spoon #8430

Embossed with the distinctive 'Little Cleo Wigg-Lure A Seneca Lure' stamp on its concave side, this spoon is a genuine piece of American tackle history from before Seneca was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. The rare Crystal finish, also known as Golden Scale, features a multifaceted texture reminiscent of broken glass designed to catch light from any angle. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, this specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing remarkably clean surfaces and well-preserved hardware. The vintage treble hook is securely attached via a split ring, complementing the classic teardrop shape of the 8430 product code. Originating from the USA, the lure's hammered-style front face provides a high-contrast flash that distinguished Seneca’s original production run from later iterations.
