Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #21682

Half of the convex face on this specimen is finished in a vibrant orange paint that contrasts sharply against the polished nickel surface. Stamped on the reverse side is the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production for this Little Cleo (Hula Girl) model. Produced before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s, this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon carries the specific product code 21682. The engraving includes the "LITTLE CLEO" name and the "SENECA LURE" manufacturer mark, identifying its authentic USA origins. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the metal and paint work remain in excellent shape, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. The original treble hook is attached via a sturdy split ring at the rear, maintaining the structural integrity expected from vintage Seneca tackle.
