Stamped clearly on the nickel blade is the 'ITALY' mark, a hallmark of these early European-made spinners. This specific Panther Martin 6 carries a 3/16 oz (6 g) weight and features the iconic shaft-through-blade construction that differentiates it from traditional clevis-style spinners. The blade itself is embossed with a vintage lion logo alongside the 1009460 patent number, documenting its historical production roots. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in total length, the lure is built around a vibrant yellow teardrop body adorned with distinct red dots. The nickel finish on the blade remains bright, while the rear features a clean treble hook with its original dark coating. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the hardware is straight and the paint on the body is remarkably crisp. Because the blade is mounted directly onto the wire, it offers a signature rotation profile that has made this model a staple for trout anglers for decades. This specimen, listed under product code 10141, showcases the precise craftsmanship expected from the Italian manufacturing era of the brand.
