A stamped copper blade displaying British, French, and U.S. patent pending marks distinguishes this mid-century classic from more modern iterations. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.7 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this Aglia size 2 represents the era when Todd Sheldon began popularizing French-made components in the American market. The natural squirrel and deer hair dressing on the treble hook is tightly bound with its original red thread, a detail that remains sharp on this specimen, designated with product code 11099. Its assembly includes the traditional brass body segments and a cone rotation system designed for smooth operation in various water currents. The lure is in 5/5 condition, showing well-maintained metal surfaces and intact fiber accents. Historically, these spinners became a staple for trout and panfish anglers after their introduction to Wisconsin in the late 1930s, eventually gaining massive popularity across North America by the 1960s.
