Stamped with the iconic dancer graphic on its nickel-finished underside, the original 'Hula Girl' icon serves as a signature feature of this Seneca-made classic from the pre-Acme era. Carrying product code 5160, the spoon features a distinctive White Pearl and Red color scheme on its face, measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (10g). The 'Little Cleo' branding and 'WGL LURE' text remain sharp, a testament to the manufacturing quality found in these early USA-made spoons. A robust treble hook is attached via a sturdy split ring, designed for casting or steady trolling. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright, clean luster on both the painted and polished metal surfaces. The hula girl image was eventually phased out after the 1980s, making these Seneca-labeled versions highly recognizable to seasoned anglers.
