Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz crystal fishing spoon #2121

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this classic spoon represents a pivotal era of American tackle manufacturing. The textured surface, finished in a bright hammered silver known as Crystal, helps distinguish this Seneca-produced Little Cleo (Hula Girl) from later iterations. Anglers often look specifically for the stamped dancer on the backside, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. This particular 1/3 oz (10 g) specimen, identified by Product Code 2121, maintains a clean appearance and a 4/5 condition rating. The heavy metal construction and original treble hook arrangement reflect the durable quality typical of USA-made gear from this period.
