Nickel and blue finishes split the front face of this classic Seneca spoon, creating a high-contrast visual profile. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) with a length of 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this specimen is the widely recognized "Hula Girl" variant of the Little Cleo. The reverse side features the distinct stamped image of a dancer along with the "WGL Lure" and "Little Cleo" text, marking it as a genuine Seneca Lure Company product from the era before Acme took over production in the early 1980s. Modern versions lack this dancer, making the original stamp a point of pride for collectors who value the traditional craftsmanship of the USA-made original. Cataloged as product code 20043, the lure remains in 5/5 condition with well-preserved nickel plating and sharp engravings. The construction includes a rear-mounted treble hook and a single mounting hole at the nose for casting or trolling setups.
