Museum Archive: Glen Evans Colorado Spinner 2, 1/4oz Gold spinning lure #17582

Gold plating catches the light across the pair of teardrop-shaped blades featured in this vintage set. Identified by product code 17582, these Glen Evans Colorado Spinners reflect a mid-century era of American manufacturing, explicitly noted on the original card as being made by and for American fishermen. Each assembly measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length and carries a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), designed for a durable, tangle-free presentation. Still preserved in their original blister packaging, the lures are unused and remain in excellent condition. The robust swivel hardware and sharp treble hooks are hallmarks of the "trouble-proof assembly" promised by the manufacturer. Stamped on the lower portion of the plastic are the codes B2 CT 2-G, while the back of the card provides a window into the brand's fifty-year history of producing everything from popping bugs to steelhead lures.
