Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #14390

Stamped directly into the gold blade is the number 4 and the Martin name, identifying this specific Italian-made classic. Tipping the scales at 1/8 oz (4 g), this spinner features the iconic teardrop-shaped body, finished here in a black base with distinct yellow speckling. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in total length, the specimen showcases the brand's unique design where the wire shaft passes directly through the blade rather than using a clevis. The hardware is secured by a sturdy split ring holding a sharp treble hook, while the upper wire is neatly coiled into a line-tie loop. Collectors will appreciate the clear "100946D" mark visible alongside the branding on the convex side of the blade. Identified by product code 14390, this specimen is in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably well-preserved with a clean finish and intact hardware.
