Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 2, 1/16oz Silver spinning lure #4019

Stamped with the classic cat logo and 'ITALY', the silver blade on this size 2 spinner reflects the European origin of a legendary design. Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (2 g), this specimen features the signature Panther Martin teardrop body finished in a vibrant yellow with distinct red accents. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, the lure is identified by product code 4019 and remains in 5/5 condition, showing a beautifully preserved finish across its hardware. The concave-convex blade is mounted directly on the shaft, a hallmark of the brand that differentiates it from standard clevis-style spinners. You will find the manufacturer's name, 'MARTIN', and patent number 1009460 clearly embossed on the metal face. The treble hook is securely attached via the internal wire through-body construction, maintaining the structural integrity of this light-tackle classic.
