Museum Archive: Vintage C.P. Swing CP-Swing 6, 1/3oz Brass spinning lure #15374

Deeply etched brass-colored scales cover the surface of the willow-leaf blade on this classic spinner. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the body is constructed from a sequence of five graduated brass beads that provide the necessary ballast for casting. Stamped clearly into the metal are the "CP SWING," "MADE IN FRANCE," and the size "6" identifiers, confirming its European heritage. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 15374, features a matching gold-finished treble hook at the end of its 3 1/4" (8 cm) frame. The 5/5 condition is evident in the brightness of the brass finish and the crispness of the scale pattern. The upper wire loop is neatly twisted, reflecting the quality control expected from these French-made tools.
