Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz fishing spoon #19427

Half-orange and half-chrome finishes catch the light across the curved surface of this 3/4oz (21g) spoon. Collectors immediately recognize the iconic "Hula Girl" stamp on the reverse side, a hallmark of original Seneca Lure company production from the era before the brand was acquired by Acme. This specific Little Cleo, listed under product code 19427, measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and features the traditional stamped dancer image alongside the "WIG-L LURE" text. Many seasoned anglers believe the presence of this dancer on the back was the key to the lure's fame in North American waters. The construction includes a robust treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, built for long-distance casting or deep trolling. In a condition rating of 5/5, the specimen shows remarkably vibrant paint and a mirror-like finish on the polished metal side.
