Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz Nickel/Gold fishing spoon #17815

Weighing in at a substantial 2/3oz (18 g), this classic spoon provides the necessary mass for long-distance casting even in challenging winds. The front surface features a striking dual-finish, combining a polished nickel base with a vibrant gold prismatic hologram decal that covers half the blade's face. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the lure is equipped with a robust treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. On the reverse side, the deeply stamped "Hula Girl" icon identifies this as an original Seneca Lure creation, dating before the brand was absorbed by Acme in the early 1980s. This specific dancer stamp is highly prized by collectors and traditional anglers who believe the icon carries the original luck of the design. The "LITTLE CLEO" and "WIGL LURE" markings remain sharp against the reflective nickel backing. Maintained in 5/5 condition, the specimen shows no signs of wear on its metallic surfaces or hardware. This item is cataloged under product code 17815 and represents a well-preserved piece of American tackle history.
