Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #13242

The stamped image of a dancer on the back side makes this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) gold spoon a true relic for Seneca collectors. Gleaming gold finish catches the light across its signature curved surface, a design hallmark from the original Seneca Lure company era before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the body features the distinctive "WIGL" and "LITTLE CLEO" stamps alongside the iconic Hula Girl figure—a detail many veteran anglers believe holds the secret to its long-standing success. Identifying this specific specimen is Product Code 13242. The condition is rated at 5/5, presenting a remarkably clean, bright surface with sharp, legible engraving. Unlike modern versions produced today, this USA-made spoon retains the classic dancer imagery that was eventually phased out, making it a sought-after piece of fishing history. It comes rigged with a strong split ring and a durable treble hook designed for casting and retrieving.
