Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz Perch fishing spoon #5189

Perch patterns in a vibrant honeycomb scale finish decorate the front of this 1/3 oz (10 g) casting spoon. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this specimen carries the classic Seneca Lure Company heritage, stamped clearly on the silver-toned back with the famous 'Hula Girl' dancer silhouette. This specific detail was discontinued after Acme acquired the company in the 1980s, making these original pressings highly sought after by those who believe the dancer image was the true catalyst for the lure's popularity. Listed under product code 5189, the piece retains its original split rings and a sharp treble hook. The surfaces are remarkably well-preserved, earning this lure a 5/5 condition rating.
