Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Nickel spinning lure #13774

A weight of 1/8 oz (4 g) allows this compact spinner to reach the strike zone quickly in moving water. Stamped clearly on the Nickel-plated blade are the manufacturer's name, the panther logo, and the Italian origin, confirming the pedigree of this Panther Martin 4. Identified by product code 13774, the lure features the signature shaft-through-blade construction where the wire passes directly through the convex-concave blade. The Nickel finish on both the weighted teardrop body and the blade shows minimal wear, earning this specimen a 4/5 condition rating. While the treble hook has been replaced, the overall integrity of the wire-wrapped loops and beads remains solid.
