Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Gold fishing spoon #10303

Glistening in a classic gold finish, a prominent Hula Girl stamp on the reverse side marks this specimen as a highly collectible early production from the Seneca Lure company. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the spoon measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and carries the product code 10303. Many seasoned anglers attribute the legendary status of the Little Cleo to that very dancer engraving, a detail that was phased out after Acme acquired Seneca in the early 1980s. Finding one in unused condition, rated 5/5, is a treat for those who appreciate the original "WIGL LURE" branding. The metal maintains its original luster, showcasing the stamped graphics clearly against the gold plating. The hardware consists of a bronzed treble hook joined by a strong split ring at the tail.
