Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 1 (1970s), 1/8oz Brass spinning lure #15347

Stamped clearly on the brass blade is the size designation 1 1/2, a hallmark of French craftsmanship from the 1970s. This unused specimen remains preserved on its original cardboard backing, showing the authentic character of a period-correct find. At a weight of 1/8 oz (3.5 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the spinner features a treble hook fitted with a bright red plastic sleeve. The brass finish on the blade has held up well, still bearing the deeply embossed 'Mepps Aglia France' markings that collectors look for. On the reverse side of the card, the printed text lists recommendations for other legendary models like the Black Fury and Comet, placing this piece squarely in the mid-century era of angling history. Identified by product code 15347, the lure utilizes a traditional cone rotation system where the blade hangs from a folded brass clevis to rotate around the wire frame.
