Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #10706

Tipping the scales at 2/3oz (18g), this classic spoon carries the substantial feel of a well-crafted American casting lure. On the concave underside, the clear and detailed "Hula Girl" dancer engraving serves as a timestamp for its Seneca Lure company origins, predating the later Acme era. This specific specimen, Product Code 10706, displays a striking Nickel / Red finish, where a vibrant orange-red paint covers exactly half of the 2 1/4" (5.5cm) body. The contrast between the high-polish nickel and the bright pigment is remarkably well-preserved. Equipped with its original silver-tone treble hook and a strong split ring, the hardware remains functional and intact. Rated at a 5/5, the lure is in excellent shape, showing a bright surface and crisp factory stamps that are highly sought after by collectors. Produced in the USA, the craftsmanship is evident in the clean lines and deliberate taper of the spoon body.
