Stamping on the polished silver-tone blade identifies this as a size 1 Metric by Luhr Jensen, a discontinued inline spinner originally manufactured in the USA. Carrying product code 13179, the lure weighs 1/8 oz (4 g) and measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in total length. The construction features a classic teardrop-shaped blade attached via a silver clevis, leading down to a multi-part body composed of a bell-shaped top and a larger ribbed cylinder. The terminal tackle consists of a treble hook attached with a split ring, showing the quality of a specimen rated at 5/5 condition. A single brass bead provides a slight color break between the silver metal body components.
