Museum Archive: Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #11634

Nickel plating covers the 2 1/4" (5.5cm) body of this classic spoon, which features the distinctive dancer engraving on its reverse side. This 1/2oz (14g) Little Cleo (Hula Girl) hails from the era when Seneca Lure Company still manufactured the line before its acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. To many vintage lure enthusiasts, the presence of the "Hula Girl" is a mark of authenticity and historical significance, as modern versions omit this iconic detail. The construction is centered around a thick metal blank designed for casting and trolling, outfitted with a large treble hook and a heavy split ring. Identified by product code 11634, this USA-made specimen is unused and remains housed in its original retail packaging.
