Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz nickel/gold fishing spoon #23840

A classic nickel and gold dual-tone finish defines this 1/2oz (14g) spoon, marking it as a vintage specimen from the Seneca Lure era. Stamped clearly on the back side is the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer, a hallmark of original USA-made production before the company was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the metal body shows visible signs of use and surface wear, resulting in a condition rating of 3/5. Modern versions of this lure no longer feature the dancer graphic, which many seasoned anglers still associate with the success of the original design. This specific piece, identified by Product Code 23840, is rigged with a traditional treble hook and split ring assembly. The stampings for "Little Cleo" and the dancer remain legible despite the aging of the metal surfaces.
