Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz nickel/green fishing spoon #21236

Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), this heavy-duty casting spoon showcases the classic USA manufacturing standards of the Seneca Lure company. The 2 1/2" (6.5cm) body features a nickel/green finish, with a deep emerald stripe along the edge of the polished metal. On the reverse side, the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer is clearly stamped—a signature detail that was discontinued after Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s. Many seasoned anglers believe this specific engraving contributed to the lure's reputation for success across various waterways. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the specimen maintains a bright, reflective surface and crisp stampings. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook secured by a solid split ring at the rear. Product code 21236 identifies this specific color pattern, which terminates at the nose with a clean-cut attachment hole for a snap or leader.
