Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #12510

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this Seneca-era Little Cleo features the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer stamp that seasoned collectors always look for. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the spoon carries a vibrant orange finish on its convex side, which contrasts with the stamped nickel back. This specific specimen, identified by product code 12510, dates back to the period before Acme acquired the company and simplified the design. The back is clearly marked with the 'WIGL' text and the classic dancing figure, details that many anglers believe were essential to its reputation. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, all maintaining a very high level of preservation. Given the clarity of the stamp and the integrity of the paint, the condition is rated 5/5.
