Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 0 Dressed, 3/32oz spinning lure #18731

Black enamel on the size 0 blade provides the classic high-contrast backdrop for the yellow dots and "Black Fury" stamp typical of this Mepps design. At a weight of 3/32oz (2.4g), the lure's construction includes a stacked brass body and a vibrant orange bead that acts as a strike point just above the hook. The dressed treble is finished with dark natural fibers, though collectors should note the tail is glued on this specific specimen, cataloged as 18731. Measuring 2" (5cm) in total length, the spinner exhibits the "Made in France" marking on the concave side of the blade. The condition is a solid 4/5, showing light use while keeping the hardware and original finish intact. Gold-toned wire forms the central shaft, terminating in a clean loop for the line tie.
