Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Tor -P-Do 2, 1/2oz black/yellow/copper fishing spoon #21020

Stamped clearly on the copper-toned reverse side of this metal spoon is the mark of Minneapolis-based manufacturer Nebco, identifying it as a Tor -P-Do 2. This 2" (5cm) specimen features a bold black and yellow diagonal striped pattern over its copper body, a high-contrast finish designed for visibility in various water clarities. Weighing 1/2oz (14g), the lure is well-suited for long-distance casting or controlled trolling depths. Identified by product code 21020, the convex side shows some light surface wear where the underlying copper base is visible through the enamel. The hardware setup includes a single treble hook secured by a split ring, while the tapered nose features a clean line-tie hole. Rated as a 4/5, this spoon displays the subtle signs of use typical of a well-maintained vintage lure while keeping its stamped text perfectly legible.
