Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz Blue / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #1745

Weighing in at a substantial 3/4oz (21g), this Seneca-produced spoon features the classic Blue / Red / Nickel finish with a bold blue panel punctuated by warm-toned dots. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, this specimen carries product code 1745 and serves as a prime example of the original Seneca Lure design before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. The reverse side is deeply stamped with the famous "Hula Girl" dancer and the "WIGL LURE" mark, a detail highly sought after by collectors who believe the silhouette was the secret to the lure's fame. Its polished nickel surface and original hardware are well-preserved, reflecting a 4/5 condition rating. The heavy-gauge metal body is rigged with a robust treble hook, while the top and bottom are clearly stamped with the weight and the iconic Little Cleo name.
