Museum Archive: Panther Martin Cheppia con Amo, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #10875

Nickel plating provides a mirror-like flash on this 1/8oz (3.5g) Panther Martin Cheppia con Amo. Originating from Italy, this specific model (Product Code: 10875) features a streamlined design often used for targeting shad or light saltwater species. The single hook is uniquely anchored to the polished body with a heavy-duty rivet, a construction detail that sets it apart from standard split-ring hook attachments. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the lure’s profile is complemented by a dark-finished barrel swivel connected via a sturdy split ring at the head. This specimen is unused, exhibiting the crisp, clean surfaces typical of well-preserved Italian tackle. The rivet assembly is tight, and the hook point remains factory-sharp, reflecting its history as a never-fished piece of angling heritage.
