Stamped clearly into the concave back of this nickel-finished spoon is the legendary hula dancer silhouette, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure Company production. Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm) in length, this mid-sized casting spoon represents a classic era of American tackle design. Carrying product code 2973, it hails from the pre-1980s period before Seneca was acquired by Acme, making it a favorite for collectors who value the original 'Hula Girl' stamp. The nickel finish remains bright across the smooth surface, earning a 4/5 condition rating for its clean appearance. It is rigged with a sturdy treble hook and split ring, reflecting the solid build quality of these USA-made spoons. The stamping also includes the 'Seneca Tackle Co.' name right above the dancer figure.
