Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #24174

Splashed with a deep blue stripe over a polished nickel base, this 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon is a prime example of mid-century American tackle craftsmanship. Collectors immediately recognize the distinctive dancer stamped into the back—often called the Hula Girl—a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand was transitioned to Acme in the early 1980s. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, this specimen carries the Product Code 24174 and remains in exceptional 5/5 condition, preserving the crisp lines of the engraved figure that many anglers swear was the secret to the lure's fame. The heavy-gauge metal construction and sturdy silver-tone treble hook reflect its USA origin, built specifically for long-distance casting. Its reflective surface is remarkably clear, showing its age gracefully with a brilliant luster on both the painted and metal surfaces.
