Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #13967

Stamped directly onto the concave gold blade is the specific numeric identifier 1009560 and the proud "ITALY" origin mark, confirming this as a genuine European-made specimen. Cataloged under product code 13967, this 1/8 oz (4 g) spinner showcases the traditional Panther Martin construction where the blade is mounted directly through the shaft. The black teardrop body provides a striking contrast with its three precise gold spots, designed to offer a different visual profile than standard straight bodies. At a total length of 1 1/2" (4 cm), the lure is equipped with a sturdy treble hook attached via a gold-tone split ring. The overall condition is rated at 5/5, with the gold finish on the blade and the painted details on the weighted body remaining exceptionally vibrant. Each component, from the wire wrap at the line tie to the point of the hooks, reflects the high manufacturing standards of these vintage Italian spinners.
