Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main liner, 2/5oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #4801

Blue paint covers exactly half of the convex side of this 2/5oz (11g) spoon, creating a sharp contrast against the polished nickel finish. This Main liner, cataloged under product code 4801, measures 2" (5cm) and showcases the classic design associated with TODDCO lures produced in the USA prior to 1980. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing minor superficial signs of its vintage origin while maintaining a clean, reflective surface. Its metal construction features a distinct ridge running down the center, while the hardware includes a robust treble hook secured by a split ring. Two drilled line-attachment holes at the nose are characteristic of TODDCO's manufacturing process for this model, intended for casting or trolling. The concave reverse is finished entirely in nickel, providing a consistent metallic flash that complements the split-color exterior.
