Museum Archive: Vintage C.P. Swing 4, 3/16oz spinning lure #16627

Stamped clearly on the silver-finished blade, the "MADE IN FRANCE" mark highlights the European heritage of this size 4 spinner. Weighing 3/16oz (4.7g), the lure utilizes a series of graduated brass-toned metal beads to provide weight and stability along its 2 1/4" (5.5cm) frame. This particular specimen, identified under product code 16627, features a scale-patterned blade embossed with the C.P. Swing branding and sizing. The construction is centered on a sturdy wire shaft that terminates in a clean treble hook. Showing a condition rating of 5/5, the metal surfaces retain their original luster and the stamped lettering remains sharp across the oval blade surface.
