Nickel and blue finishes split the face of this 2/3 oz (18 g) spoon, creating a high-contrast visual profile. Stamped on the underside is the famous 'Hula Girl' dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. This specific specimen measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length and represents the era when the iconic dancer graphic was still a standard feature of the stamped metal design. The lure shows a very clean surface, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its well-preserved nickel plating and deep blue paint. Identified as product code 12144, it carries the heritage of a USA-made casting spoon that many veteran anglers swear by. A robust treble hook is attached via a sturdy split ring, matched by another split ring at the line-tie end. The stamping 'THE LITTLE CLEO' and 'SENECA LURE' remains sharp and legible against the polished metal back.
