Museum Archive: Panther Martin 2, 3/32oz Silver spinning lure #16011

Stamped with the 'MADE IN ITALY' mark on the concave face of its silver blade, this spinner represents the precision engineering synonymous with early Panther Martin production. The weighted teardrop body features a vibrant yellow base coat decorated with bold red polka dots, a classic color configuration for this model. Measuring 1 1/2 inches (3.5 cm) in length and weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g), this size 2 specimen (Product Code 16011) utilizes the brand's signature design where the blade is mounted directly onto the wire shaft without a clevis. As an unused item with a condition rating of 6, the metal surfaces and painted details remain bright and preserved. The blade also carries the '100% PATENTED' embossing alongside the Martin brand logo. A dark-finished treble hook is attached to the rear, secured by the original wire wraps that show no signs of distortion or age-related fatigue.
