Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz nickel/gold fishing spoon #23864

Stamped with the iconic Hula Girl silhouette on its reverse, this Seneca-made specimen represents a classic piece of American tackle history. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the spoon features a striking dual-tone nickel and gold finish that shows the character of its age. Collectors recognize this as a genuine Seneca Lure Company production, predating the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body includes the original "WIG L LURE" and "LITTLE CLEO" stamps, hallmarks of the era when the dancer icon was still a standard feature. While modern versions have moved away from this graphic, many seasoned anglers still swear by the original design's charm. This particular piece, assigned product code 23864, retains its hardware including a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring. Its surface displays some honest wear from years of storage, earning it a solid 3/5 condition rating. The plating remains reflective, particularly the gold tones, highlighting the craftsmanship of a mid-century casting spoon.
