Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt 2, 3/16oz Nickel / Yellow spinning lure #3019

Striking yellow strands form the skirt of this feathered spinner, providing a high-visibility contrast against the bright nickel finish of its blade. Stamped clearly with the brand name and size, the blade is the centerpiece of the Hildebrandt 2, an American-made classic from Hildebrandt Spinners. Weighing 3/16oz (4.5g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure features a series of three polished metal beads on the wire shaft that lead to the line tie. This specific specimen carries the Product Code 3019 and remains in exceptional 5/5 condition, with the nickel plating showing a brilliant reflection and the yellow tail fibers appearing full and well-preserved. The construction relies on a sturdy wire frame designed for casting in a variety of freshwater environments.
