Stamped clearly with "MADE IN FRANCE" and the number 2, the silver spinner blade on this specimen showcases a crisp scale pattern characteristic of mid-century European metalware. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and weighing 3/32oz (2.6g), this C.P. Swing 2, identified by product code 16979, represents a fundamental design in the evolution of light-tackle inline spinners. The silver finish remains bright across the teardrop-shaped blade, which is mounted via a folded brass clevis to a straight wire shaft. Beneath the blade, the body is constructed from several small brass beads that provide the necessary ballast for casting. The hardware concludes with a darkened treble hook, showing well-preserved points and minimal signs of its age. This specific lure earns a condition rating of 5/5. The upper eyelet is tightly coiled, designed for a direct line tie or a small snap swivel.
