Museum Archive: Panther Martin 9 Con Punti, 2/5oz Red / Yellow spinning lure #10553

Red dots against a vibrant yellow blade immediately catch the eye on this classic Italian-made spinner. Carrying the product code 10553, this Panther Martin 9 Con Punti weighs in at 2/5 oz (11 g) and measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length. The hallmark of this design is the unique blade orientation, where the wire passes directly through the yellow-painted blade rather than using a clevis, a configuration that has defined the brand since its early days in Italy. This specific specimen features the traditional teardrop body, finished here in a matching red that complements the polka-dotted blade. The hardware includes a sturdy wire shaft and a sharp treble hook, all preserved in its original retail packaging. As a Condition 6 item, the lure is unused and remains in its factory-fresh state. The back of the packaging highlights the brand's long-standing reputation and confirms its Italian pedigree through the manufacturer's markings. The silver-colored metal components on the reverse side of the blade are clean and bright, indicating a well-preserved piece for any collector’s display or a vintage tackle setup.
