Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #18551

Nickel and holographic blue scale patterns define the striking finish on this 1 1/2" (4 cm) Seneca Little Cleo. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the spoon features a clean stamp on the reverse side identifying it as 'A Seneca Lure,' connecting its origin to the brand's American manufacturing history. The blue section is adorned with a distinct diamond-grid holographic tape that creates a sharp contrast against the polished nickel half. Identified by product code 18551, the spoon remains in 5/5 condition, exhibiting a bright surface and minimal signs of age. On the concave back, the names Little Cleo and Wigl-Lure are deeply embossed into the metal, highlighting the classic branding. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a dark-finished treble hook, both of which appear original and well-preserved. This specific size is balanced for casting or trolling in various freshwater environments, where the reflective properties of the dual-tone finish are most effective.
