Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #2540

Bold Fire Tiger hues of yellow, green, and orange cover the convex face of this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon. Carrying the product code 2540, the polished silver back features the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer stamp that defined the Seneca Lure company’s original production. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the metal body retains its high-gloss finish and clear branding. Collectors often look for this specific version because the dancer logo was discontinued after Acme took over the brand in the early 1980s. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a clean treble hook. Showing no signs of wear, the condition of this specimen is rated 5/5. The stamped details on the reverse indicate its authentic USA origin, preserving a piece of angling history from the era when these lures first became legendary for casting and trolling.
