Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz nickel fishing spoon #19905

Weighing in at a substantial 2/3oz (18g), this classic nickel-plated spoon carries the legacy of the original Seneca Lure company. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the concave back side features the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer stamp, a signature detail that was eventually phased out after Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s. Many veteran anglers swear that this specific graphic was the secret to the lure's historical success in the water. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring at the top and a sharp treble hook at the tail, secured with a distinctive gold-toned wire wrap. Product code 19905 is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright, mirror-like finish across its teardrop-shaped body. This American-made specimen is built for heavy casting and serves as a significant piece of fishing history from the era when Seneca still held the reins.
