Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz copper/black/yellow fishing spoon #18543

Copper serves as the base metal for this Seneca classic, visible along the edges and across the reverse side. Weighing 1/3oz (10g), this Little Cleo (Hula Girl) spoon predates the early 1980s Acme acquisition, hailing from the original Seneca Lure company era. The front display features a copper, black, and yellow palette, characterized by a bold diagonal yellow stripe across a black field peppered with small copper-colored dots. On the stamped copper back, the distinctive hula dancer figure is clearly visible alongside the "WIGL LURE" branding, a feature highly sought after by collectors since it was later discontinued. The lure is equipped with a single treble hook and split ring assembly, designed for casting or trolling. Identified by product code 18543, the specimen is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish that displays its historical manufacturing roots.
