Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #21214

A vibrant yellow-to-orange gradient defines the front of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) spoon, making it a standout piece for collectors of original American tackle. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this specimen carries the iconic "Hula Girl" stamp on its nickel-finished reverse, a hallmark of the Seneca Lure company from the era before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. This specific dancer engraving is highly sought after by anglers who believe the original Seneca versions possessed a certain magic missing from later productions. Identified by product code 21214, the metal body is in 5/5 condition, retaining a brilliant luster on the nickel side and clean, saturated color on the face. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a classic treble hook. The back is clearly stamped with the "Little Cleo" name and "WIGL LURE" branding alongside the figure of the dancer, representing a well-preserved piece of fishing history.
