Stamped with British, French, and US patent markings, the gold-finished blade on this Mepps Aglia 3 identifies it as a classic 1950s piece. At a weight of 1/4 oz (7.3 g) and a length of 2 1/4" (6 cm), the lure features a distinctive brass body with deep ribbing and a cone rotation system designed for the blade to spin smoothly. The treble hook is dressed with a natural squirrel hair tail, showcasing a blend of dark brown and white tips, all held in place by a red thread wrap. Cataloged under product code 4149, this feathered spinner reflects the mid-century production style where components were manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. Rated at 5/5, the metal hardware remains clean, with the engraved text on the blade remaining sharp and legible. The natural hair dressing is full and retains its original texture, highlighting the quality of the feathered design.
