Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt 1 Flicker Spinner​, 1/32oz nickel fishing spoon #20502

Stamped clearly into the primary nickel blade is the 'HILDEBRANDT 1' mark, a hallmark of American tackle manufacturing that collectors recognize immediately. Weighing 1/32 oz (1 g), this Hildebrandt 1 Flicker Spinner (Product Code 20502) showcases a distinctive multi-blade configuration consisting of one large lead blade followed by two smaller teardrop blades. The polished nickel surfaces across all components remain bright, highlighting the quality plating standards maintained by Hildebrandt Spinners. This particular specimen is assembled on a wire shaft with a single hook accented by a small bead and an integrated swivel for connection. Manufactured in the USA, the design emphasizes the brand's specialization in small-profile lures for light tackle applications. The hardware and blades are in 4/5 condition, showing well-maintained metal surfaces that retain their original reflective properties. The alignment of the flicker blades and the integrity of the wire wrap demonstrate the craftsmanship typical of vintage Hildebrandt production.
