Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g), this South Bend spinner showcases the meticulous construction typical of vintage USA-made tackle. The silver-finished oval blade features a crisp stamping of the iconic lion logo alongside the manufacturer's name, identifying it as a classic 4668 model. A bright red bead serves as a strike point between the ribbed metal body and the feathered tail, which measures a total length of 2 1/4" (5.5cm). The treble hook is expertly dressed with a combination of white and red feathers that remain full and vibrant. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the polished silver surfaces and wire wraps show exceptional preservation. The stamped details on the blade face are easily legible, contrasting against the reflective finish of the lure's body.
