Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Yellow / Nickel fishing spoon #11866

Yellow paint accented by black dots decorates the front of this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon, showing a seasoned appearance where the underlying nickel plating is exposed. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the metal body represents genuine Seneca-era craftsmanship before the brand’s transition to Acme in the early 1980s. The reverse side features the highly sought-after 'Hula Girl' dancer stamp, a detail accompanied by the 'WIGL LURE' and 'LITTLE CLEO' marks that many veteran anglers consider the soul of the lure's legacy. Rated 4/5 in condition, the specimen displays honest field wear on its painted face while the stamped nickel back remains crisp and legible. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, maintaining the structural integrity of product code 11866.
