Any thoughts on make please!
Hello Everyone
In a recent car boot purchase there were plenty of items, among them was this spinner which I cannot identify. There is a logo on the tip of the blades.
It maybe some old piece of tat. I have checked my lure books and come up with nothing so far. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you TTF'ers.

I just had a friend inform me that it could possibly be a Traditional Mackerel Spinner. It does look similar to the ones you can buy online nowadays.

Hi Tony. I'm pretty new here, so better late than never I suppose.Tonytoned wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 8:13 pm Hello Everyone

Your lure is Italian, from one of their more renowned makers: Simplex (Pozzi e Canegrati, Milan).
Definitely not tat!
I have a few of their scaled spoons, bearing the same stamp as your very nice 'otter' type spinner.

Tat? Questa esca da pesca ha alcune qualità meravigliose.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Re: Any thoughts on make please!
Certainly a cheap mass produced mackerel spinner in my opinion, I must have had quite a few over the years, used them a couple of times and they suddenly expoloded with rust . Yours may be in the higher echelon of spinners though as it has brass fittings .

Re: Any thoughts on make please!
Any similarity between Tony's spinner and a cheap 'mackeral spinner' is purely superficial.
'Mackeral spinners' are just the very cheapest incarnation of an old and time-honoued lure type, known as an 'otter' spinner (or 'arrowhead' spinner if you are an American). Many of these were of superb quality.
First made by Hearder of Plymouth in the 1840s.

Some of my Simplex scaled spoons, as mentioned in my earlier post above.

Mi fa piacere che tu sia d'accordo
