Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Gold / Black spinning lure #3886

Stamped directly into the gold-finished blade is the iconic jumping cat logo alongside the Italy mark, confirming the heritage of this classic inline spinner. This 2" (5cm) specimen features the signature teardrop body finished in deep black with three distinct yellow dots. Weighing in at 3/16oz (6g), the design centers on the unique post-mounted blade which rotates directly on the shaft without the need for a clevis. The gold plating on the blade is remarkably clear, showing off the patent number 1005460 and the original manufacturer's branding. Hardware includes a sharp, darkened treble hook, and the overall condition is a stellar 5/5, with the paint and metal finish showing very little sign of age. This specific iteration represents the high-quality Italian production that made these lures a mainstay for stream fishing.
