Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt's Gold Nugget Twin Spin, 1/4oz gold spinning lure #20254

Stamped clearly with the size designation "3 1/2" and the maker's hallmark, the primary gold-plated blade serves as the bright focal point of this 1/4oz (7g) vintage spinner. This Hildebrandt's Gold Nugget Twin Spin, identified by product code 20254, showcases a distinctive design where two smaller secondary blades are positioned directly on the single hook's shank. A teardrop-shaped lead head, also finished in gold, provides the necessary ballast for casting. Manufactured in the USA, the craftsmanship is evident in the precise wire-wrapping that secures the upper eyelet and the small spacer beads. The reflective surfaces across all three blades remain clean and highly reflective, reflecting a condition rating of 4.5/5 for this well-preserved specimen. Collectors often look for these specific configurations where Hildebrandt integrated multiple points of flash into a compact profile.
