Stamped clearly on the convex side of the gold blade, the 'MEPPS 3 AGLIA' mark identifies a mid-century staple from the 1970s. This vintage piece, listed under product code 19712, utilizes components manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the spinner is constructed with a solid, ribbed brass body featuring red paint highlights within its circular grooves. A matching red sleeve is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, a signature visual element of this model. The reverse side of the blade is marked with 'MADE IN FRANCE,' while the front also notes the 'BRITISH FRENCH PAT.' status. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the gold finish remains bright across the metal components, and the original hardware is intact. The teardrop blade is attached via a sturdy brass clevis, designed to rotate around the central axis during a steady retrieve.
