Museum Archive: Glen Evans Colorado Spinner 1, 3/16oz Nickel spinning lure #17963

Nickel-finished Colorado blades provide the primary visual attraction for these two vintage Glen Evans lures. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length, each spinner is built with a durable wire assembly and weighted with brass beads to achieve a total weight of 3/16 oz (5 g). These specific lures, identified by product code 17963, were manufactured in Caldwell, Idaho, by Glen L. Evans, Inc., a company that prided itself on creating American-made tackle for local fishermen. This specimen is unused and remains in its original mid-century carded packaging, showcasing the brand's iconic blue and yellow graphics. The assembly utilizes a traditional clevis to allow the teardrop-shaped blade to revolve freely around the central shaft above a silver-tone treble hook.
