Stamped clearly into the back of the willow leaf blade is the origin of its components, reading "MADE IN FRANCE." This Mepps Aglia Long 1 Dressed (squirrel tail) features a silver blade with a textured, dimpled pattern that catches light across its 6cm (2 1/4") length. The brass body, weighing in at 4.5g (3/16oz), is detailed with three recessed red rings and sits just above a bright orange bead. Under product code 14258, this spinner is equipped with a treble hook hand-dressed in dark squirrel tail hair, meticulously wrapped with red thread at the shank. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the silver plating and the natural hair dressing appearing exceptionally well-preserved. Though the blade is stamped with a "0," the overall configuration matches the size 1 specifications for this American-assembled classic. A small brass clevis allows the blade to rotate around the central wire frame, which terminates in a clean R-bend eyelet.
