Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 20, 3/4oz Nickel spinning lure #1844

Stamped clearly with the iconic lion logo and a patent number, this vintage Italian-made spinner showcases the hallmark engineering that defined the brand. Weighing in at a substantial 3/4oz (21g) and measuring 4" (10cm) in total length, this larger '20' series model is built for significant casting distances and deeper presentations. The blade features a classic Nickel finish, displaying soft surface marks and signs of use that reflect its age and history. It utilizes the distinctive thru-shaft design where the blade spins directly on the wire, a signature Panther Martin characteristic. A sequence of yellow beads leads to a uniquely faceted, textured metallic bead near the blade, adding a subtle visual variation to the body profile. The terminal tackle consists of a treble hook fitted with red attractor tubing, providing a sharp visual contrast against the silver components. Identified by product code 1844, this specimen's condition is rated 3/5, retaining all its original hardware and the clear 'ITALY' stamp on the concave blade surface.
