Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) , 1/2oz nickel/gold fishing spoon #23518

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Seneca Lure Company original stands as a piece of angling history from the pre-Acme era. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body features a nickel/gold finish, accented by the unmistakable stamped dancer on the reverse side—a detail that many veteran anglers swear was the secret to the lure's historical success. The specimen holds a 3/5 condition rating, showing the natural character of a lure that has spent years in a working tackle box without losing its structural integrity. Identified by product code 23518, this USA-made spoon includes the original 'WIGL LURE' and 'LITTLE CLEO' lettering alongside the Hula Girl icon. The hardware consists of a classic treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, designed for long-range casting.
