Stamped into the silver-plated blade of this size 2 spinner are the classic "BRITISH FRENCH PAT" markings, a hallmark of mid-century Mepps production. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) frame features a weighted brass body accented by four concentric red-painted rings, providing a subtle visual trigger beneath the surface. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (4.5 g), the assembly includes a treble hook protected by a vibrant red sleeve on the shank, serving as a focused strike point. This specimen, identified by product code 10516, showcases the "MADE IN FRANCE" stamp on the reverse side of the blade, reflecting the brand’s origins since Andre Meulnart’s 1938 invention. The silver finish remains bright and the red accents are exceptionally well-preserved, earning this piece a 5/5 condition rating.
