Museum Archive: Vintage Bretton, 1/3oz Silver (Silver Plated) spinning lure #3637

Stamped clearly onto the silver-plated teardrop blade, the "BRETTON" branding signifies a heritage of French manufacturing that dates back to 1936. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) and weighing 1/3oz (10g), this spinner carries the distinctive black dots that collectors often search for on these classic French designs. The body assembly includes a solid brass bullet head followed by two vibrant red beads and a three-segmented brass weight, leading down to a sharp treble hook. Assigned product code 3637, the blade also bears the "MADE IN FRANCE" and "REGISTERED" marks, confirming its authenticity. The silver plating on the blade remains largely intact, offering a specific type of reflection that only genuine silver can provide. Rated as a 4/5 in condition, the lure shows gentle signs of age that highlight its vintage character. The wire shaft is straight, and the two translucent red beads are free of chips or cracks.
