Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #8272

Weighing in at a substantial 2/3 oz (18 g), this Seneca-made classic showcases a signature split-color scheme of polished gold and vibrant red on its convex side. Collectors specifically seek out the stamped 'Hula Girl' dancer on the reverse, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure production from the USA before the brand was acquired by Acme. This specimen, identified by product code 8272, measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length and features the bold 'Little Cleo Wigl Lure' branding deeply impressed into the metal. The lure is rigged with a robust treble hook and a gold-tone split ring, maintaining a condition rating of 5/5. The stamped imagery remains sharp and clear, providing a direct link to the era when many anglers believed the dancer itself was the secret to the lure's historical success.
