Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt, 1/2oz Nickel spinning lure #2795

Stamped into the polished nickel surface of the blade, the HILDEBRANDT 3 1/2 lettering confirms the heritage of this classic American-made spinner. This specific model, cataloged under product code 2795, weighs 1/2 oz (14 g) and measures 3 1/2" (9 cm) from the tip of the lead-style head to the end of the feathered tail. The vibrant combination of red, yellow, and black feathers is securely tied to a single hook, providing a stark visual contrast against the reflective nickel finish of the blade. The lead head features a distinct yellow and black eye, adding a touch of lifelike detail to the forward section of the lure. Originating from the USA, the craftsmanship of Hildebrandt Spinners is evident in the robust wire connection and the quality of the metal plating. Appearing exceptionally well-preserved, this vintage specimen receives a condition rating of 5/5. The entire assembly is joined by a sturdy metal link that connects the weighted head and blade section to the rear feathered hook.
