Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold / Red / Black spinning lure #4676

Stamped clearly on the convex surface of the gold blade, the "Italy" origin mark confirms this Panther Martin 4 as a genuine piece of European craftsmanship. This 1/8oz (4g) spinner features a striking high-contrast color scheme, combining a gold blade adorned with diagonal red stripes and a black teardrop body decorated with three distinct red dots. At a total length of 1 1/2" (4cm), the design utilizes the signature post-mounted blade system where the wire passes directly through the blade, a hallmark of the brand's engineering. A small brass bead provides the necessary spacing between the weighted body and the spinning component. The markings on the blade also include the "4 MARTIN" size indicator and the patent number 1009460. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the painted stripes and dots remain vibrant, while the metal components retain their original luster. The treble hook is finished in a subtle bronze tone, securely attached to the wire frame. Product code 4676 identifies this specific configuration, characterized by its unique striped blade ornamentation.
