Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #15502

A genuine gold-plated finish distinguishes this particular specimen from standard painted spinners, providing a high-reflectivity surface on both the blade and the teardrop body. Weighing 1/8 oz (4g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), this Panther Martin 4 features the classic shaft-mounted blade design that allows for immediate rotation upon water contact. Cataloged under product code 15502, the lure remains in its original vintage blister pack from Harrison-Hoge Industries. The concave blade is engineered to sit directly on the wire shaft, a construction detail that has made these spinners a staple for trout anglers since the mid-20th century. This item is unused, preserved in its factory packaging with the original yellow and blue backing card intact. The sharp treble hook is tucked securely behind the plastic, and the 'Genuine Gold Plated' branding is clearly visible on the front of the card.
