Museum Archive: Vintage C.P. Swing CP-Swing 3, 1/8oz silver/brass spinning lure #22184

Graduated brass beads form the weighted body of this vintage spinner, providing a balanced 1/8oz (3.6g) profile. Stamped clearly on the silver-toned blade are the words "C.P. SWING" and "MADE IN FRANCE," identifying this as a classic size 3 model from a manufacturer that once defined the European spinner market. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in total length, the lure features a textured scale pattern on the blade surface designed to catch light from various angles. The hardware remains in excellent form, with the treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring and finished with a traditional yellow thread wrap. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 22184, shows signs of meticulous care throughout its life, earning it a 5/5 condition rating. The wire shaft is straight, and the beads retain a soft, natural metallic glow. The combination of the brass body and silver blade reflects a time-tested color palette used by anglers targeting trout and perch across decades.
