Tipping the scales at exactly 1/8 oz (4g), this vintage Panther Martin 4 features a vibrant yellow blade adorned with bold red polka dots. Produced by Harrison-Hoge Industries in Port Jefferson Sta., NY, this specimen is documented as Product Code 3931 and remains unused in its original retail bubble. The construction reflects the classic Italian craftsmanship found in these early 'Made in Italy' spinners. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the lure utilizes a weighted gold-tone teardrop body and the signature through-the-blade shaft design that bypasses the need for a separate clevis. The front of the yellow card identifies this specific color and size configuration as 4 PM-SP-Y. On the reverse of the packaging, the distributor's address and a list of available sizes and colors provide a window into the brand's catalog from this era. The treble hook is preserved in pristine condition, showing no signs of oxidation or age.
