Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz nickel/green fishing spoon #20874

Stamped into the reverse nickel plating is the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer, a detail that defines this original 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) Seneca lure. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), this Little Cleo (Hula Girl) features a subtle nickel/green finish, characterized by soft iridescent shifts of yellow and violet across its reflective surface. Carrying Product Code 20874, this specimen represents the authentic production period before Seneca was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s, a time when the hula dancer was still a standard feature. Anglers of the era often attributed the lure's effectiveness to this specific graphic, which sits just above the 'WIG-L-LURE' and 'LITTLE CLEO' lettering. The item remains in excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining a high-shine finish and clear stampings. The hardware is equally well-preserved, featuring a strong split ring and a sturdy, dark-finished treble hook.
