Museum Archive: Panther Martin 2, 3/32oz Gold / Black / Yellow spinning lure #6334

Gold plating on the convex blade provides high visibility for this classic Italian-born spinner, a design that has remained a favorite among trout anglers for decades. Weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the lure features a weighted teardrop body in black with distinct yellow dots. The hallmark of this design is the post-mounted blade, which is threaded directly onto the wire shaft rather than using a clevis, a construction detail intended to facilitate rotation immediately upon retrieval. This specific specimen, identified by product code 6334, is unused (Condition 6), retaining its original factory luster on both the gold-finished blade and the bronzed treble hook. The blade is clearly stamped with the number 2 and the brand name, indicating its size within the traditional lineup.
