Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz copper fishing spoon #20798

Copper plating covers every curve of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon, representing a classic era of American tackle manufacturing. Stamped clearly on the convex face is the 'LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE A SENECA LURE' text, a detail that places its origin before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure's teardrop shape is paired with a robust split ring and a sharp, dark-finished treble hook. This specimen, identified by product code 20798, maintains a remarkable 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean finish and perfectly legible embossing. Every contour of the heavy-gauge metal reflects the quality expected from a USA-made Seneca original, intended for precision casting. The concave underside remains smooth and reflective, ensuring the profile remains distinct through the water column.
