Stamped with the legendary "Hula Girl" dancer on the reverse side, this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon is a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production. A bright gold finish covers the metal body, which weighs 1/2oz (14g) and is cataloged under product code 21269. Finding the dancer motif is a highlight for collectors, as the image was phased out after Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s. The build quality reflects its USA origins, featuring a classic treble hook secured by a split ring. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean, well-preserved surface that highlights the "LITTLE CLEO" and "SENECA LURE" engravings. Many seasoned anglers hold a tradition that the dancing figure was the secret to the lure's historical success when casting.
