Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Silver / Green spinning lure #16339

Stamped clearly into the silver blade is the number "6" alongside the "MARTIN ® 1009460 ITALY" markings, serving as a testament to this lure's European heritage. This specimen, assigned Product Code 16339, utilizes the iconic teardrop body design finished in a vibrant green. Weighing a versatile 3/16 oz (6 g) with a total length of 2 1/4" (6 cm), the construction is centered around a through-blade design where the shaft passes directly through the silver spinner. This mechanical setup is paired with a bronze treble hook secured to the weighted body. The condition of this piece is excellent, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean finish and intact hardware. Looking closely at the wire-wrapped line tie, the craftsmanship remains as tight as the day it left Italy, representing a classic era of spinner production.
