Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #23349

Tipping the scales at 3/4oz (21g), this Seneca spoon features the iconic Hula Girl silhouette stamped clearly into its metal body. This specific Little Cleo, cataloged under product code 23349, measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and showcases a distinct two-tone aesthetic with vibrant orange paint on the outer curve and a polished nickel finish on the concave side. The stamping remains remarkably sharp, highlighting the "WIGL" mark, the "Little Cleo" name, and the Seneca brand identifier. Its hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a clean treble hook, both of which appear in great form. A condition rating of 5/5 reflects the well-preserved nature of this specimen; the orange pigment is bright and saturated, while the nickel side maintains a deep, mirror-like reflection. This weight class is a traditional choice for distance casting when targeting larger species in deeper water. The engraved Hula Girl figure remains a defining historical characteristic of the Cleo line, and here it is presented without any wear to the fine lines of the design.
