Nickel-plated teardrop blades, stamped with the iconic "HILDEBRANDT 3" mark, highlight the functional craftsmanship of this vintage terminal tackle. Weighing 3/32oz (3g), this dual-spinner configuration remains mounted on its original illustrated retail card, which notes its origin in Logansport, Indiana. The back of the packaging identifies this as a "genuine No. C1" HILDEBRANDT SPINNER (No. C Idaho Spinner), specifically designed to be fished alongside traditional flies for all game fish. Cataloged under product code 8519, the specimen features two bright blades on a clean wire shaft. The finish on the metal components has been exceptionally well-preserved, reflecting light just as it did decades ago in the USA. This piece showcases the early 20th-century approach to multi-blade lures, utilizing simple mechanical connections to allow the blades to rotate freely around the central axis. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original shine and structural integrity, while the backing card serves as a historical record for the brand's mid-western roots.
