Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #19208

Stamped with the distinctive 'WIGL-LURE' text on its concave side, this nickel-finished spoon represents the original production era of a legendary design before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this Seneca Little Cleo, cataloged under product code 19208, features the classic teardrop profile that collectors and anglers alike recognize instantly. The reflective nickel surface remains bright and clear, reflecting a well-preserved 5/5 condition. On the back, the 'A SENECA LURE' identification confirms its heritage as a pre-acquisition USA-made piece. The hardware is mounted with a robust split ring and a sharp, dark-toned treble hook. The metalwork is clean and the embossed lettering is crisp, showing the quality manufacturing standards of the original Seneca Lure company.
