Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz nickel/red fishing spoon #23334

Red prism tape catches the light across half of the nickel-finished body on this classic 1/2oz (14g) spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse is the iconic Hula Girl dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Many veteran anglers still swear by the luck provided by that engraved dancer, which is no longer found on modern versions. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and cataloged under product code 23334, this casting spoon is fitted with reliable split rings and a bright treble hook. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure shows a clean finish with no visible wear on the nickel or prism tape, and the back plating remains exceptionally clean.
