Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz nickel/red fishing spoon #18971

A 1/3 oz (10g) weight characterizes this nickel-finished spoon, which features a vibrant red prism texture across one half of its convex surface. Flip the 1 3/4" (4.5cm) lure over to find the classic 'Hula Girl' dancer stamp, a signature detail from the Seneca Lure company era (Product Code 18971) before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. This particular model also bears the 'Wig-L-Lure' and 'Little Cleo' imprints, marks that collectors associate with the original USA production period. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp bronze treble hook, both showing no signs of use. Rated in 5/5 condition, the metal maintains a high-quality finish without any surface marks. The punched line-tie hole at the narrow base provides a clean point of attachment for casting or trolling setups.
