Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 2, 3/16oz Silver spinning lure #15344

Stamped with the "French Patent" mark, the silver-finished blade on this size 2 spinner reflects the design principles established by Andre Meulnart. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g), the Mepps Aglia 2 measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and features a bright, embossed silver blade designed for smooth rotation. This specific specimen, identified by product code 15344, is unused and remains in its original green carded packaging labeled "Mepps Killer." The hardware consists of a red-accented body and a sharp treble hook, all appearing clean and factory-fresh. Flip the card over to see the historical Sheldon’s, Inc. mailing address in Antigo, Wisconsin, alongside a vintage advertisement for Mepps-branded apparel. The green and white cardstock is well-preserved, showcasing the classic branding used for these USA-distributed lures. Every component, from the brass clevis to the red tubing on the hook shank, is exactly as it left the factory.
