Orange painted blade with "Made in Italy" stamping characterizes this vintage find. Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (2 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, this Panther Martin 1, product code 16002, is a quintessential example of mid-century trout lure engineering. The blade is mounted directly on the wire shaft, a signature design choice that eliminates the need for a clevis and allows the blade to rotate around the weighted core. The teardrop body features a vibrant yellow base with distinct red dots, paired with a solid orange blade that shows the manufacturer's name clearly pressed into the metal. This specimen is in unused condition, maintaining its original factory finish from the Italian workshops. The dark-finished treble hook is securely attached to the wire-through construction, and the wire wrap at the top remains tight and factory-straight.
