Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz pearl fishing spoon #18481

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the pearl-colored finish on this spoon provides a clean, solid aesthetic that contrasts with the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer stamp on its underside. A weight of 2/3oz (18g) indicates this specimen originates from the Seneca Lure company era, produced before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. While modern versions of the lure no longer include the dancer imagery, this piece retains the distinct stamped figure along with the 'WGL LURE' and 'LITTLE CLEO' text. The hardware includes original-style split rings and a bright treble hook, all preserved in 5/5 condition. Cataloged under product code 18481, the lure’s heavy-gauge steel construction was engineered in the USA for long-distance casting and deep-water techniques.
