Segmented brass components form the core of this mid-century spinner, which was manufactured in France for the Marathon company. Bearing product code 2911, the Marathon Valse measures 3" (7.5 cm) and has a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g). A silver finish covers the dual-blade assembly, where the front blade displays a stamped "Valse" logo alongside decorative stars. Flipping the blade reveals the "MADE IN FRANCE" mark, along with "BREVETE SGDG" and "PAT. PEND." indicators of its 1950s design heritage. A bright red plastic sleeve covers the shank of the treble hook, contrasting with the metallic silver and brass tones. Given its age and use, the hardware is rated at a 3/5 condition, showing the soft signs of a tackle box history without compromising the build. The lure is assembled on a straight wire shaft terminating in a simple loop for line attachment.
