Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) Glow, 3/4oz White / Light Blue / Nickel (Glow in Dark) fishing spoon #1411

Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), this specimen features the classic glow-in-the-dark finish that has served anglers well during low-light sessions for decades. The paint scheme transitions from a crisp white to a soft light blue across the 2 1/2" (6.5cm) blade. Flipping it over reveals the stamped nickel back, where the legendary Hula Girl dancer remains clearly visible—a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Many collectors prioritize these specific Seneca-era pieces because of that iconic dancer engraving, which is no longer included on modern iterations. Bearing the product code 1411, the spoon shows gentle signs of its journey, earning a 4/5 condition rating while maintaining its structural integrity. The hardware is robust, featuring a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook ready for the water. The glow properties on the front side provide a distinct visual profile, contrasting sharply against the polished metal on the reverse.
