Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt 1, 1/32oz Gold fishing spoon #3061

Gold plating on the teardrop-style blade catches the eye immediately, prominently featuring the HILDEBRANDT 1 stamp that identifies this piece of American craftsmanship. At a lightweight 1/32 oz (1 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), this specimen (Product Code 3061) represents the classic ultra-light feathered spinner design that Hildebrandt Spinners helped popularize from their home in the USA. The yellow feathered tail is tied around a treble hook, providing a vibrant contrast to the polished gold metal components. An integrated brass bead serves as a spacer on the wire shaft, allowing the blade to rotate freely around the clevis. Given its condition rating of 5/5, the finish remains bright and the feathers are full and intact, showing no signs of age-related degradation. This specific model utilizes a simple wire-loop eyelet for connection to light tackle.
