Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 2, 1/16oz Gold / Black / Green spinning lure #3879

A matte black body with vibrant yellow-green spots defines the aesthetic of this classic Italian-made spinner. Weighing 1/16 oz (2 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), it features the signature Panther Martin teardrop weight and through-shaft blade mounting. The blade itself is finished in black with matching dots on the convex side, while the concave underside displays a polished gold brass surface. Carrying the product code 3879, this lure utilizes a shaft-mounted blade design that omits the traditional clevis, allowing for a compact profile. The condition is a well-preserved 5/5, with the original paint holding its contrast and the hardware remaining straight and functional. A standard bronzed treble hook is securely attached to the rear loop, completing the build of this reliable stream trout tool.
