Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Nickel / Yellow / Black spinning lure #6329

Stamped clearly into the nickel blade, the "6 MARTIN" mark accompanied by the classic lion logo signifies its authentic Italian heritage. This specific specimen, cataloged as product code 6329, features the signature teardrop body painted in a vibrant yellow with distinct black horizontal stripes. Rated 5/5, the lure remains in exceptional condition, maintaining its original factory finish on both the weighted body and the polished nickel blade. Weighing 3/16oz (6g) and measuring 2" (5cm) in length, the design utilizes an in-line spinner configuration where the blade is mounted directly onto the wire shaft without a clevis. The reverse of the blade bears the patent number 1039460 and is deeply engraved with "ITALY," reflecting the manufacturing era of these early imports. A dark, sharp treble hook is attached at the tail, completing this classic lure intended for precision casting in trout streams or light freshwater applications.
