Hand-stamped on the inner surface, the Hildebrandt name identifies this genuine USA-made piece as an essential find for any rarity collector. Measuring 3" (7.5cm) and weighing 1/2oz (14g), the white pearl body features two distinctive red and black eyes at the nose, which provide a sharp contrast against the iridescent natural material. This specimen, identified by product code 22569, utilizes a wire-through construction that secures a faceted red bead against the shank, leading back to a sturdy treble hook. The hardware shows signs of its vintage origin while maintaining a 4/5 condition rating, appearing well-preserved for its age. Attached to the front is a classic barrel swivel, a common feature for Hildebrandt Spinners designed for casting or trolling scenarios where line twist needs to be managed. The natural pearl material used for the spoon body reflects light in a way that synthetic finishes struggle to replicate, making it a standout example of mid-century craftsmanship.
