Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) , 1/2oz nickel/gold fishing spoon #23515

Gold plating over a nickel base characterizes this specific 1/2 oz (14g) casting spoon. Stamped clearly on the concave side is the legendary "Hula Girl" figure alongside the "WIGL LURE" text, identifying this as a genuine Seneca Lure company production. This version, assigned product code 23515, predates the early 1980s Acme acquisition, after which the dancer imagery was retired from the design. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the lure retains its original hardware, including a strong split ring and a treble hook secured with a brass-colored sleeve. Given its 3/5 condition rating, there is visible thinning of the gold finish on the convex side, which reveals the silver-toned nickel layer underneath while keeping the core structural integrity intact. The hula dancer engraving remains deep and well-defined on the inner face of the blade.
