Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #22625

Stamped clearly into the high-polish nickel finish on the back of this 1 1/2" (4cm) spoon is the original branding identifying it as a Little Cleo Wigl-Lure. Weighing 1/4oz (7g), this specimen from Seneca's production era features the classic hump-backed shape designed for distance casting. The teardrop-shaped body is marked with "A Seneca Lure" and "USA," reflecting its mid-century manufacturing origins. A condition rating of 5/5 is assigned to this piece, as the plating is remarkably clean and the original dark-finished treble hook remains sharp and securely attached by its split ring. This lure, cataloged under product code 22625, represents a well-preserved example of American tackle history. The hole at the head is precisely drilled for line attachment, while the heavy gauge of the metal ensures it reaches depth effectively when casting or trolling.
