Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt's Gold Nugget Twin Spin, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #17906

Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5.7 g), the radiant gold finish across the entire frame makes this a standout specimen for any collector. The Hildebrandt's Gold Nugget Twin Spin, cataloged under product code 17906, features a distinct crescent-shaped lead weight that provides the necessary ballast for casting. Following the weight, a single gold bead leads to the teardrop blade, which is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name. A unique detail on this USA-made lure is the twin-wing attractor mounted near the barb of the gold-plated single hook, giving it its namesake characteristic. The condition of this piece is a solid 5/5, with the metallic surfaces remaining exceptionally bright and the wire construction straight and secure. This specific model reflects the long history of Hildebrandt Spinners in producing specialized hardware for finesse applications.
