Stamped with 'BRITISH FRENCH PAT.' on its brass blade, this 1/8 oz (3.5 g) spinner highlights the international heritage of a classic design. The 2" (5 cm) Mepps Aglia 1 features a solid brass body detailed with three distinct red rings. These components, manufactured in France and assembled in the USA, represent the mid-century collaboration that popularized Andre Meulnart’s inventions. Cataloged as product code 0045, this specimen maintains a 4/5 condition rating, featuring a clean brass clevis and a treble hook fitted with a red plastic sleeve. The teardrop-shaped blade is mounted using a traditional cone system positioned just above the weighted torso. This assembly utilizes a brass bead to act as a bearing between the clevis and the body.
