Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz gold spinning lure #22467

Stamped clearly into the gold-finished blade, the "ITALY" marking confirms the heritage of this classic Panther Martin 4. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), this model 22467 incorporates the iconic shaft-through-blade design that allows the spinner to rotate without the need for a clevis. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in total length, the lure features a heavy brass body designed to reach depth quickly in streams or lakes. The convex and concave geometry of the gold blade is a technical hallmark of the brand, specifically intended to generate distinct sonic vibrations during a steady retrieve. This specimen is in excellent shape, showing a bright luster across the metal components which earns it a 5/5 condition rating. Collectors will appreciate the crispness of the "MARTIN" name and the panther logo alongside the 1009450 patent number. The original treble hook remains securely attached via the internal wire shaft, which terminates in a precisely wrapped line tie.
