Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz Yellow / Orange / Green / Nickel fishing spoon #2541

Weighing in at a substantial 3/4oz (21g), the heft of this spoon makes it a prime candidate for long-distance casting or reaching deeper water columns. The front face displays a vibrant honeycomb scale pattern in a gradient of Yellow, Orange, and Green over a nickel base. Flipping it over reveals the hallmark of a true collector's piece: the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer stamped into the back side. This specific specimen was crafted by Seneca in the USA, predating the Acme acquisition in the early 1980s when the dancer silhouette was famously phased out. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the lure features a robust treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. The stamping on the rear clearly includes the "SENECA" name along with the weight and "LITTLE CLEO" branding. This 2541 model remains in remarkable shape, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The nickel plating on the rear is bright and reflective, while the painted finish on the front retains its original depth and luster.
