Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz white pearl/pink/nickel fishing spoon #22861

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the spoon is finished in a smooth white pearl that transitions into a warm pink edge. Stamped with product code 22861, this 1/2oz (14g) specimen is a classic example from the Seneca Lure company era. The back of the lure is polished nickel and features the legendary Hula Girl dancer, a detail that was phased out after Acme acquired the brand in the 1980s. Collectors often seek out these "Hula Girl" versions because of the historical connection to the original Seneca production. The hardware, consisting of a stout treble hook and split ring, remains in excellent shape, contributing to its 5/5 condition rating. The high-polish nickel on the reverse provides a distinct flash against the painted face when used for casting or trolling.
