Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Green / Nickel fishing spoon #15782

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the spoon's surface features a bright green paint job highlighted by small red dots and olive bands. Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), the weight makes it a versatile choice for casting into deeper runs. The reverse side reveals a polished nickel finish stamped with the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer, a signature mark of the original Seneca Lure company. Collectors often look for this specific stamp, as the dancer was discontinued after Acme acquired the company in the early 1980s. Many anglers believe the presence of the dancer is what truly cemented the Little Cleo's reputation in tackle boxes across North America. Identified by product code 15782, the lure is in 5/5 condition, displaying the integrity of its original components and paint. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, reflecting the heavy-duty build quality of mid-century American-made lures.
