Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz White Pearl spinning lure #3881

Stamped clearly into the metal of the blade, the "ITALY" origin marking confirms the European heritage of this vintage spinner. The specimen carries the White Pearl color scheme, featuring a uniform white coating on the teardrop body and the outer face of the blade, centered by a bold red circular dot. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in total length, the lure utilizes the iconic shaft-through-blade construction that allows the component to rotate directly on the wire. The inner side of the blade shows a polished silver-tone finish, providing a clean reflective surface. Identified by product code 3881, this 1/8 oz (4 g) lure is in 5/5 condition, showing excellent preservation of the original paint and crispness in the "PM PAT. N. 100460" stampings. The original treble hook remains sharp and securely attached to the wire loop.
