Stamped with the number 15 and "ITALY" on the concave surface, the gold-finished blade is the hallmark of this classic spinner. This specific model, listed under product code 11965, carries a teardrop-shaped lead body finished in a deep black with three prominent yellow dots. The design utilizes a post-mounted blade where the wire shaft passes directly through the metal, a construction choice that facilitates immediate rotation. Weighing 1/2 oz (15 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), it provides the heft needed for deep-water casting or reaching mid-stream targets. The hardware includes a sturdy bronze treble hook that shows minimal wear. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with a bright shine on the gold plating and crisp paint on the weighted body. Closer inspection reveals the panther logo and patent number 1009460 etched clearly into the blade's surface.
