White Pearl and Orange paint covers the convex face of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, providing a high-contrast look for the water. Tipping the scales at 2/3 oz (18 g), the lure carries the distinctive "Little Cleo" and "Hula Girl" stamp on its polished nickel backside. This specific engraving is a hallmark of the Seneca Lure company, which manufactured these spoons in the USA before the brand was absorbed by Acme in the early 1980s. Unlike contemporary versions, this vintage specimen, identified by product code 10461, retains the detailed dancer figure that collectors and veteran anglers often credit for the lure's legendary status. The hardware consists of a single treble hook attached by a robust split ring. In terms of preservation, the spoon is well-maintained with a clean surface and sharp stamping, meriting a 4/5 condition rating.
