Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Cotton Tail 0, 1/16oz Nickel spinning lure #7510

Nickel plating on the oval blade immediately distinguishes this vintage spinner, which is clearly stamped with the "COTTON TAIL 0" mark. Produced in the USA under product code 7510, the lure features a compact profile measuring 2" (5 cm) in length. Its lightweight 1/16 oz (1.7 g) build makes it a prime example of mid-century ultra-light tackle design by Cotton Cordell. The treble hook is dressed with olive-colored feathers, providing a natural contrast to the metallic finish of the blade. Rated 4/5, the specimen shows light signs of aging that speak to its authenticity while maintaining its original luster. The wire construction is tightly wrapped at the top eyelet, ensuring the components remain secure during casting or retrieval.
