Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the teardrop-shaped lead body of this vintage spinner features a classic yellow paint job accented with distinct red dots. This specific Panther Martin 6, identified by product code 14989, showcases the signature concave-convex blade design that mounts directly through the wire shaft. On the front, the blade is finished in a bright orange, clearly displaying the 'MARTIN' name, the iconic lion logo, a size '6' stamp, and the 'ITALY' origin mark—a nod to the early European production history of these lures. Flipping the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) lure over reveals a polished gold-tone underside on the blade, providing a distinct color contrast. The hardware is completed by a bronzed treble hook attached via the integrated wire loop. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the paint on the body remains vibrant and the blade's orange coating is remarkably preserved, allowing the stamped numbers 1009560 to remain fully legible.
