Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Nickel/blue #17968

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this specimen carries an eye-catching blue holographic scale pattern contrasted against a polished nickel finish. Stamped clearly on the reverse is the legendary 'Hula Girl' dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand's acquisition in the early 1980s. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this spoon represents a time when the dancer logo was a standard feature, often credited by veteran anglers for the lure's historical success. The hardware remains robust, featuring the original treble hook mounting via a heavy-duty split ring. Identified by Product Code 17968, the metal surfaces show minimal wear, maintaining a clean appearance with a condition rating of 4/5. The 'WIGL LURE' engraving alongside the dancer confirms its authentic USA manufacturing origin.
