Museum Archive: Vintage Silverlake, 1/3oz Gold / Blue Glitter spinning lure #5558

Adorned with three vibrant yellow beads, the wire shaft of this vintage spinner leads to a meticulously dressed treble hook. The gold blade features a unique blue glitter finish that provides a distinct visual texture compared to standard brass, and it is clearly stamped with the Silverlake name. Weighing in at 1/3oz (9g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), this American-made classic (product code 5558) represents a fine example of mid-century terminal tackle design. A brown feathered tail is tightly secured with a striking red thread wrap, creating a sharp contrast against the yellow body components. This specific specimen maintains a condition rating of 5/5, with the gold plating and glitter application remaining bright and the hardware showing virtually no signs of age. The wire loop at the top is ready for a snap or direct tie, as used in traditional casting or trolling setups.
