Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Silver spinning lure #15576

Stamped clearly on the silver blade is the number "6" alongside the "ITALY" origin mark, identifying this as an authentic vintage piece from the renowned Panther Martin lineup. The teardrop body, weighing 3/16 oz (6 g), features a classic yellow paint job accented by distinct red spots. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 15576, showcases the iconic convex/concave blade design that is mounted directly on the wire shaft. This construction is a hallmark of the brand, allowing the blade to spin without the use of a clevis. A sharp, bronze-finished treble hook is attached at the base, and the overall length measures 2 1/4" (6 cm). The condition of this lure is excellent, maintaining its vibrant colors and crisp stamping, earning it a 5/5 rating. The lion logo on the blade is a nostalgic touch for collectors who appreciate the Italian craftsmanship that helped popularize these in-line spinners.
