Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt 3, 1/4oz Nickel spinning lure #2433

Stamped clearly on the dual nickel blades is the iconic Hildebrandt name, a mark of quality that collectors recognize instantly. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 2433, showcases the classic double-spinner design that made the brand a staple in American tackle boxes. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the lure features a striking feathered treble hook dressed in a blend of red and cream-colored natural fibers. The polished nickel finish on the blades remains bright and reflective, consistent with a condition rating of 5/5. Hildebrandt Spinners often utilized these specific teardrop-shaped blades to maximize surface area and light reflection during a steady retrieve. Each component, from the wire frame to the clevises, appears original and shows the precise assembly expected from vintage Hildebrandt production. The feathered tail adds significant visual profile to the lure's silhouette, balancing the metallic shine of the nickel components.
