Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz Nickel/gold fishing spoon #24373

Nickel and gold plating split the surface of this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) spoon, a classic design choice from the Seneca Lure company era. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this specific specimen carries the product code 24373 and features the famous "Hula Girl" dancer stamped on the reverse side. This iconic engraving, inspired by an exotic performer C.V. "Charlie" Clark saw in the 1930s, was the signature of the original Little Cleo lures introduced in 1953. Collectors prioritize these older Seneca versions because the dancer image was removed after the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring connecting a large treble hook. Displaying light signs of its age on the plated surfaces, the lure is rated in 4/5 condition, maintaining the vintage charm of a New York-made original designed for casting and trolling.
