Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt, 1/4oz Gold spinning lure #3170

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this vintage Hildebrandt (Product Code 3170) showcases a high-polish gold finish across its twin blades and weighted bean head. Both teardrop blades are clearly stamped with the Hildebrandt brand name and size 1, attached via gold-toned hardware to the wire frame. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is fitted with a high-contrast black and white skirt that has retained its original flexibility. This American-made specimen is in unused condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean, mirror-like surfaces. The construction follows a traditional overhead wire design, aligning the dual blades to maximize surface area for light reflection above the hook.
