Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin, 1/16oz Black / Gold spinning lure #3877

Hand-painted yellow dots decorate the weighted black body of this Italian-born spinner. Weighing in at a delicate 1/16oz (2g) with a total length of 1 1/2" (3.5cm), this Panther Martin specimen represents the classic shaft-through-blade design that has defined light-tackle fishing for decades. The blade face is stamped with "PM PATENTED" and "ITALY," while the reverse side reveals a polished gold finish that provides a distinct visual contrast. Cataloged under product code 3877, the lure features a lead teardrop body designed for stable casting and a sharp, original treble hook. The condition is rated 5/5, exhibiting excellent paint coverage on both the blade and the body with no visible wear to the hardware.
