Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #2197

Gold prism patterning covers the front half of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) spoon, providing a distinct visual contrast against the polished metallic finish. This Seneca-produced Little Cleo (Hula Girl), carrying product code 2197, weighs 1/3oz (10g) and represents a significant era in tackle history. The reverse side features the classic stamped dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors often seek out this specific version because the iconic hula girl imagery was eventually removed from later production runs. The specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean surface and original hardware. A single treble hook is secured by a sturdy split ring at the base of the teardrop-shaped body.
