Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz fishing lure #15179

Stamped clearly onto the silver blade is the iconic lion logo, a hallmark of early Italian production for this legendary spinner. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), the lure features a teardrop-shaped lead body finished in a bright yellow base with distinct orange polka dots. This specific specimen, identified by product code 15179, measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and represents a classic era of European manufacturing. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the painted surfaces and the polished metal blade remaining remarkably clean and well-preserved. Its construction utilizes the traditional shaft-through-blade design, paired with a sturdy wire frame and a sharp bronze-finished treble hook.
