Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Silver / Yellow spinning lure #13282

Italy is stamped clearly into the concave side of the silver blade, identifying this Panther Martin 4 as a specimen from its original European manufacturing line. Weighing 1/8 oz (4g) with a total length of 1 1/2" (4cm), the lure utilizes a yellow teardrop body accented with distinct red dots. The blade, numbered 1009368, features the iconic L MARTIN name and lion stamp, key details for verifying authentic vintage Italian production. Rated in 5/5 condition, the finish remains bright and the hardware is free of the wear often found on field-used spinners. This specific model, carrying product code 13282, uses the classic shaft-through-blade design where the silver blade sits directly on the wire. A wire-wrapped treble hook completes the build, secured with the tight, uniform coils characteristic of this brand's assembly.
