Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz Green / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #1685

Vibrant green paint with distinct red spotting and dark green patterns defines the visual profile of this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon. Stamped on the polished nickel backside is the legendary hula dancer figure, a signature detail from the era when Seneca Lure Company manufactured the Little Cleo (Hula Girl) in the USA before the 1980s Acme acquisition. Weighing 2/3oz (18g), the lure features a substantial metal thickness and is equipped with a clean treble hook and silver split rings. This particular specimen, bearing product code 1685, shows a well-preserved finish and is rated in 5/5 condition. While contemporary versions of the Cleo persist, many veteran anglers seek out these original 'dancer' models specifically for their casting weight and historical provenance. The stamping remains crisp and deep on the silver-toned reverse side.
