Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz nickel/green fishing spoon #21850

A vibrant half-green, half-nickel finish identifies this Seneca classic, providing a distinct contrast that catches the light effectively. Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (10g) and measuring 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm), the spoon features the famous 'Hula Girl' figure stamped clearly into the reverse nickel plating. This specific specimen, identified by product code 21850, represents a piece of USA manufacturing history with its bold 'Little Cleo' and 'Wiggler' branding visible on the back. The surface of the spoon is exceptionally well-preserved, maintaining a mirror-like shine and rich paint saturation that warrants a 5/5 condition rating. A single, sharp treble hook is attached via a sturdy split ring at the tail, while the nose is pre-drilled for a secure line tie. The nickel-plated back remains bright and free of marks, showcasing the intricate engraving of the brand's logo and the silhouette that made this model a staple in tackle boxes for decades.
