Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 2 Dressed (1970s), 3/16oz silver spinning lure #19583

Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.7g), this 1970s-era specimen features the classic silver-finished blade synonymous with the Mepps legacy. The stamping 'BRITISH FRENCH PAT.' on the face of the size 2 blade highlights the historical manufacturing lineage associated with product code 19583. Flip the lure over, and you'll see the crisp 'MADE IN FRANCE' relief on the reverse side of the spoon. The central brass body is accented with three distinct red painted grooves, providing a tactile contrast against the metallic components. A natural squirrel tail dressing covers the treble hook, blending shades of deep brown and orange fur. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the hardware remains solid and functional, showing the honest signs of light use that come with a 4/5 condition rating. The wire form is straight, leading to a top loop ready for casting.
