Stamped clearly into the brass blade are the words "BRITISH FRENCH PATENT U.S. PEND," a detail that highlights the international design history of this 1091 model. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (4.5 g), the spinner is built around a central wire shaft featuring tiered brass beads that provide the necessary ballast for casting. The oval blade, measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in total length, is secured with a traditional clevis to ensure rotation around the body. While the reverse side of the blade identifies that the components were "MADE IN FRANCE," the item was ultimately assembled in the USA. The brass color remains bright and clear across all metal surfaces. This specimen includes a sharp, bronzed treble hook and shows a condition rating of 5/5. Collectors will note the precision of the French-manufactured components, a hallmark of the Mepps brand since its inception by Andre Meulnart.
