Stamped with 'ITALY' and the sequence '1009450,' the gold blade of this vintage spinner provides a clear look at the lure's European production history. This Panther Martin 4, cataloged under product code 4666, showcases a gold-plated blade with red diagonal stripes paired with a black teardrop body featuring orange-red spotting. At 1 1/2" (4cm) in length and weighing 1/8oz (4g), the construction relies on the brand's famous post-mount system where the blade rotates directly on the shaft to create a unique rotational profile. Currently rated at 4/5 condition, the metal surfaces retain a high luster while the paint on the weighted body remains largely intact. The bronze treble hook is original to the piece, showing the typical finish of mid-century hardware. The teardrop-shaped body is engineered to facilitate stable retrieves in varied current speeds. The numerical '4' stamped prominently on the blade face identifies this as a versatile medium-light trout and panfish size.
