Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz Gold fishing spoon #17685

Stamping on the back of this 3/4 oz (21g) spoon reveals the iconic Hula Girl dancer, a hallmark of the Seneca Lure era before the brand was acquired by Acme. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, this specific Little Cleo (Hula Girl) carries the Product Code 17685 and prominently displays the vintage WIGL LURE branding. The polished gold finish remains in 5/5 condition, maintaining a high-reflectivity surface across both the convex and concave sides. Collectors often seek out these Seneca-made versions specifically for the dancer graphic, which many anglers historically believed was a key component to the lure's success. The hardware consists of a sturdy, original treble hook attached via a split ring, positioned at the wider end of the teardrop-shaped body for casting stability.
