Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz nickel/brass fishing spoon #22214

A striking nickel and brass two-tone finish defines this classic spoon, a characteristic that pairs with its substantial weight of 2/3oz (18g). Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this specific specimen, cataloged as product code 22214, is a genuine piece of angling history from the Seneca Lure Company. It dates back to the era before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors prioritize the "Hula Girl" variant for the iconic dancer engraved on the reverse side—a detail omitted from modern productions. Many veteran anglers still swear that this small engraving was the secret to the lure's legendary success on the water. The hardware remains functional, featuring a sturdy treble hook attached via a robust split ring. Rated at a condition of 3/5, the body shows honest signs of a long life, with the dual-metal plating still catching the light effectively. This USA-made casting spoon represents the original design of a lure that remains a staple for trout and salmon fishermen.
