Museum Archive: Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #0673

Weighing in at 2/3 oz (18 g), the dense metal body of this spoon features a crisp Nickel / Blue split finish. Stamped into the concave side is the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Tackle Co. production before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors often prize these Providence, R.I. versions, as the dancer motif was eventually removed from later models. This 2 1/4" (6 cm) specimen, identified by product code 0673, remains unused and is still sealed in its vintage bubble pack. The heavy construction is designed for long casting distances and reaching deeper water columns where fish are holding. Each card bears the Seneca name and the catalog number C 233 B printed directly on the green textured background.
