A vibrant mix of orange and black natural squirrel hair dressing makes the tail of this size 2 spinner stand out immediately. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (4.7 g), this Mepps Aglia 2 dressed specimen (Product Code 1155) features a polished nickel blade. The stamping on the blade face reads "AGLIA 2 BRITISH FRENCH PAT.", referencing the heritage of Andre Meulnart's original French components before they were assembled in the USA. The brass-toned body is accented with deep red grooves, leading down to the hand-tied dressing that includes a sharp red turkey-quill tip. The hardware shows some light honest wear, putting the condition at a solid 4/5. Collectors often look for these specific color combinations in the squirrel hair, as the orange-to-black transition is particularly well-defined on this piece. The feathered tail is securely bound with red thread, maintaining the integrity of the natural fibers.
