Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz Gold fishing spoon #14998

A gleaming gold finish covers the surface of this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) metal spoon. Weighing in at 2/3oz (18g), the lure features the iconic "Hula Girl" and "Little Cleo" stamps on the reverse side, hallmarks of its Seneca Lure Company origins. These specific dancer markings were phased out after Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s, making this version highly sought after by collectors who believe the original graphic held a certain fishing magic. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook secured by a brass split ring, all appearing in excellent shape with a condition rating of 5/5. At the leading end, a clean-drilled hole is ready for a snap or leader attachment. This particular specimen, identified by product code 14998, retains its original luster across the wide, curved profile designed for casting or trolling.
