Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 2/3oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #8089

A classic Red / White / Nickel color scheme defines the face of this particular Seneca specimen. The reverse side proudly displays the stamped "Hula Girl" dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure Company production before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors often seek out this specific mark, as modern iterations have since omitted the iconic figure that many veteran anglers believe was the secret to its fame. Weighing in at 2/3 oz (18 g), this spoon measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length and features a clean nickel finish on the stamped belly. The paint on the front is a deep red with a distinct white wavy stripe, a pattern known for high visibility during casting or trolling. Examining the surfaces reveals a piece in 5/5 condition, with the metal stamps and paint remaining crisp and well-preserved. It is rigged with a strong treble hook and a reliable split ring for secure hardware attachment.
