A dimpled, hammered copper finish defines the front of this vintage spoon, designed to maximize light reflection from various angles. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the Nebco Tor-P-Do 1 features a classic teardrop profile that was a staple of mid-century American tackle production. Flipping the lure over reveals a smooth copper back clearly stamped with "NEBCO", "TOR-P-DO-1", and its manufacturing origin of "MPLS. MINN.", pinpointing its history from the Minneapolis-based maker. The hardware consists of a durable split ring and a clean treble hook, with the overall piece showing light signs of age that merit a 4/5 condition rating. Listed under product code 3296, the attachment eyelet at the head remains perfectly circular and free of structural wear, making it a solid representative of U.S. casting hardware.
