Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz nickel/yellow/red fishing spoon #20654

Vivid yellow paint accented with circular red-orange spots defines the front of this classic spoon, a characteristic finish from the Seneca era. Weighing 2/3 oz (18 g), this Little Cleo (Hula Girl) carries the stamped legacy of the Seneca Lure company on its nickel-finished back. Anglers specifically seek out this dancer engraving, which was famously discontinued after Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s. Labeled under product code 20654, the metal body measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and shows honest signs of light use with small chips near the edges, earning a 4/5 condition rating. The hardware remains functional, featuring a split ring and a treble hook with a distinct gold-toned shank. This USA-made specimen preserves the original hula girl silhouette that many veteran anglers believe was the secret to the lure's historical success.
