Museum Archive: Vintage C.P. Swing C.P. Spoon, 1/4oz Hammered Nickel / Brass spinning lure #12638

Graduated brass beads form the core of this French-made lure, providing a balanced 1/4oz (7g) weight for casting. This C.P. Spoon, listed under product code 12638, showcases a classic hammered nickel blade that contrasts with the warm tones of the brass body components. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) from the top eyelet to the hook, the assembly features a carefully wrapped black feather hackle and a bright yellow yarn tail on the treble. The hardware, including the wire shaft and clevis, appears sturdy and well-aligned, reflecting its 5/5 condition rating. C.P. Swing lures from France are known for this specific teardrop blade shape and textured finish, which is seen here with a clean, unblemished surface. The feathered hook remains dense, and the wire wraps at the head and tail are tight and secure.
