Stamped clearly on the brass blade are the markings 'MEPPS 1 AGLIA' alongside 'BRITISH PATENT' and 'BREVETE FRANCE,' identifying its specific design heritage and European origins. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this spinner features a solid brass blade and body assembly. The construction includes a segmented brass weight and a small bead spacer designed to allow the blade to rotate around the wire shaft. This specimen, designated as product code 1102, retains a bright, clean appearance throughout its metal surfaces, reflecting a condition rating of 4/5. The bare treble hook is securely attached, maintaining the original configuration typical of these early French-engineered lures that Andre Meulnart first brought to the angling world. The 'Brevete France' markings on the blade are a direct link to the brand's roots before it became a mainstay in the US market.
