Museum Archive: Vintage Worth #301, 1/3oz spinning lure #23503

Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in total length, the spindle-shaped body of this Worth #301 is finished in white with sharp black dots. This 1/3 oz (9 g) spinner is a product of USA manufacturing, featuring a high-contrast blade with black and gold stripes on the face and a polished brass-tone underside. At the rear, a treble hook is dressed with white feathers and shimmering tinsel, all secured with a bright red thread wrap. Cataloged under product code 23503, the lure shows very little signs of use, warranting a condition rating of 4/5. The assembly is held together by a sturdy wire form, including the clevis and brass spacer beads that support the blade's rotation.
