Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz Nickel/gold fishing spoon #24360

A distinct 3/4 oz (21 g) weight is stamped clearly on the reverse of this Seneca-made spoon, positioned alongside the iconic 'Hula Girl' figure that defines the early era of the Little Cleo. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the Nickel/gold finish presents a polished chrome face accented by a textured gold-leaf pattern. This specific specimen, identified by product code 24360, represents the original vision of Charlie Clark, the New York City songwriter who founded Seneca Tackle in 1951. The backside showcases the detailed engraving of the dancer 'Cleo,' whose swaying movements Clark sought to replicate to attract fish. Since Acme discontinued the dancer image after acquiring Seneca in the early 1980s, these stamped versions are cherished by those who appreciate the lure's historical roots. A sturdy split ring connects the original-style treble hook to the tail. Currently in 4/5 condition, the metal retains its luster and the stamping remains crisp and legible across the curved surface.
