Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Nickel / Brass fishing spoon #24253

Nickel and brass plating over a 2 1/4" (5.5cm) body gives this heavy spoon a distinctive aesthetic that collectors recognize instantly. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the lure features the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer stamp, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production in the USA. Finding these early specimens with the dancer still visible is a treat for the tackle box, as the design changed significantly after Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s and removed the figure. The dual-finish surface shows honest signs of a life spent in the water, with noticeable wear to the plating that reveals the brass base metal, resulting in a 3/5 condition rating. It is rigged with a robust split ring and a single large treble hook. The stamping includes 'LITTLE CLEO' and 'WIGL LURE' clearly surrounding the engraved dancer figure on the convex side.
