Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/5oz Bronze (Brass) fishing spoon #14242

Bronze (Brass) tones cover the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) surface of this classic casting spoon, a finish that has stood the test of time for generations of anglers. On the concave side, the distinct stamping of the dancer identifies this as an original Seneca Lure product, manufactured before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Many veteran fishermen believe the presence of this figure was the secret to the model's historical success. This specimen, assigned product code 14242, weighs 3/5 oz (16 g), providing a dense profile for reaching distance during a long cast. The metal shows a well-preserved appearance with light signs of use, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. A single split ring connects the rear hole to a sturdy treble hook. The manufacturer's stamp remains legible on the lower portion of the body, situated just above the hardware attachment.
