Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz gold fishing spoon #24002

Gold plating defines the surface of this classic spoon, which measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length. Produced by the Seneca Lure Company before their acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s, this Little Cleo (Hula Girl) includes the iconic stamped dancer on its reverse side. Many seasoned anglers believe this specific graphic detail was the secret behind the lure's historical success, a feature that was eventually discontinued in later production runs. Bearing the product code 24002, the piece weighs 3/4 oz (21g) and is built with a heavy-gauge metal body designed for casting and trolling techniques. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, retaining a clean reflective quality across the metal with a well-maintained treble hook attached at the base.
