Museum Archive: Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Silver spinning lure #16127

Stamped clearly into the silver metal, the '1009460 ITALY' markings verify the European heritage of this classic spinner. The vibrant green finish on the lead teardrop body provides a striking contrast, perfectly weighted at 3/16 oz (6 g) for precise casting into tight eddies. This Panther Martin 6 specimen features the signature shaft-through-blade construction, where the silver blade mounts directly onto the wire without a clevis for a very distinct profile. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the lure is fitted with a sharp bronzed treble hook. Collectors of early European-made tackle will appreciate that this specific unit, listed under product code 16127, remains unused and earns a condition rating of 6. The metallic luster of the blade and the solid application of the green paint highlight the manufacturing standards of its era.
