Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz nickel/chartreuse fishing spoon #21242

At 1/2 oz (14 g), the solid heft of this Seneca-produced Little Cleo indicates a spoon built for serious casting distance. Cataloged as product code 21242, the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) nickel-plated body features a bold chartreuse paint application on its top half. This specific specimen is a rare transitional piece from the period immediately following the brand's acquisition by Acme, retaining the traditional "WIGL LURE" and "LITTLE CLEO" stamps on the concave side. With a condition rating of 5/5, the reflective nickel surface is bright and the dual-tone color contrast remains sharp. The lure is finished with a factory-original treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, showcasing the robust USA-made construction that established the Little Cleo as a tackle box staple.
