Silver-plated surfaces with deep longitudinal fluting define the blade of this classic spinner, showcasing the craftsmanship that G.M. Skinner pioneered. Weighing 3/16oz (5g) with a total length of 3 1/2" (9cm), the model 3 (product code 24034) stands as a significant rarity featuring the famous 1874 Canadian patent mark. The brass wire frame is expertly formed to house the spoon and an integrated barrel swivel, leading down to a treble hook dressed in a full tuft of red, tan, and dark feathers. Showing gentle signs of its long history, the lure maintains a 4/5 condition with sharp, legible stamping on the silver face. The red accents in the feathers provide a sharp contrast against the bright metal, reflecting the traditional aesthetic of late 19th-century trolling hardware.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
