Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Yellow / Green fishing spoon #0294

A vibrant Yellow / Green gradient defines the finish on this 1/2oz (14g) spoon. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this Seneca-made specimen carries the distinctive stamped image of a hula girl on its polished metal reverse side. This specific aesthetic detail identifies it as an authentic vintage production from the Seneca Lure company, a feature that was notably removed after Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s. Identified by product code 0294, the lure is in 4/5 condition, showing well-maintained hardware and a crisp stamp. Many collectors and anglers associate this specific 'dancer' era with the design's original success, favoring the heavy gauge metal construction for casting and trolling applications. The single hook remains sharp and correctly aligned with the split ring attachment.
