Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #6539

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this classic spoon features a vibrant split-color finish of polished gold and deep red. On the concave reverse side, the legendary "Hula Girl" dancer logo is deeply stamped, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. This specific specimen, identified by product code 6539, weighs in at 1/2 oz (14 g). Many seasoned anglers maintain that the presence of the dancer logo is a lucky charm for success on the water, a detail noticeably absent from modern iterations. The lure is equipped with a robust treble hook and split ring, both showing no signs of wear. With a condition rating of 5/5, the metal retains a high-gloss luster and the red paint remains saturated and clean across the surface. The stamp is clearly legible, including the "Little Cleo" text and the stylized dancer figure.
