A weight of 1/4 oz (7.3 g) makes this mid-century spinner a versatile choice for a variety of freshwater species. Stamped clearly on the brass blade is the size 3 Aglia designation alongside the British and French patent markings. Flipping the blade reveals the "Made in France" origin, signifying the high-quality components used during this era when the lures were assembled in the USA. The brass body is distinctively detailed with horizontal red painted grooves, providing a subtle color contrast. This specimen features a natural squirrel tail dressing on the treble hook, bound with red thread at the neck. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length, the lure remains in 4/5 condition, showing only light signs of use on the metal surfaces and the paint. The squirrel tail hair is well-preserved and retains its original texture. This specific Mepps Aglia 3 dressed (squirrel tail) carries the product code 23488.
